Default MAF Sensor

I'm pretty sure that I have a faulty MAF sensor, and I was wondering if there was any company that sold new MAF sensors+CAI. I figure if I'm gonna spend the money to get a new MAF I might as well get something thats flows better than stock and if I could get a CAI all in one package that would be great. Thanks

Stock MAF is fine until you hit around 300hp at the crank. Most companies sell a MAF housing that requires you to still use your own MAF.

Unless there is a code that is specifically telling you the MAF is bad, you may just need to clean it. Even if it does throw a code, cleaning it could save you from replacing it.

Whats the best way to clean it? I know for a fact that it does trip the engine light every once in a while. Also everytime I've tried to put a CAI on my car it trips the MAF and I know for a fact that it was put together correctly.

Get the code read, and let us know.
