I bought the October issue of MM&FF, and reading it convinced me that a C&L Mass Air Meter would be a good horse power add on for my 02 GT.
So I got one. $300 bucks.
Opening the box, I realized, all this thing is, is an aluminum tube about 5 inches long. That's all. How can a freaking piece of Aluminum cost me $300?
Well, the kit did include a K&N filter that is worth $50 or $60, and there is this cheesy plastic cover that has to be worth a dollar.
It really isn't even a MAF, because you pull the real MAF out of your car and screw it into this thing. It's just an aluminum tube that holds the MAF.
If I had to do it over again, I bet I could go to the hardware store and buy a damn pvc tube and get the old MAF stuck into it somehow and adapt a K&N to it. At least I would be willing to spend $5 bucks trying.
Sheesh, all that money for a stupid tube, maybe I should make a billet PVC MAF and sell it for $150. I'm gonna get rich.
