Blown maf before or after adding aftermarket intake?
Just curious to see the results. I had mine blow a couple months after I put my Place Racing intake on. Just so everybody is clear I am not impling anything.

mine blew due to the fact that the guy who had the car before me never oiled the filter

too much oil or too little oil.. they still blow cuz the sensors are too sensitive.... according to my service advisor.

Mine has never blown, so I can't vote. Injen for over a year (12,000 miles).

Although my Max is a 2K2, it was a late build and came with the supposedly better 2k3 MAF (22680-AM600) Maybe that's why??

I think it says AM-600 at the end of the # on the housing... there was a thread about that sometime ago but I can't find it right now....

The number is on the black tube (housing) like Puppet said. On a 2k2, the number is facing the firewall and kinda faint so you'll need a mirror and flashlight to read it (at least I did). Or remove it and read it.

You could srill have problems, but they seem to be fewer with the AM600 variety.
