Oil from an over oiled K&N, poor MAF design, excessive vibration, and my theory-- too many WOT which expose the wire in the MAF to too many higher voltages over and over again--- lead to failure. It has happend to people with a stock intake and those with aftermarket intakes, so having a cold air intake isn't to blame.

I don't know on the 00+ max but the 01 I30 airbox has a hole in it after the filter where a factory cable tie mounts to. I wasn't able to determine if this hole can cause unfiltered air to enter the intake since the air box slot isn't big enough for me to see if the hole is chambered off. Sure would be a bad design if it isn't. Just to be on the safe side I plugged up the hole with some silicone sealer.

I can only agree with the other members that some mafs are just made that way and tend to go bad. Knock on wood, (pearldiamonds head if he was standing next to me) but I have not yet had to deal with a bad mafs yet and hopefully that won't happen, but then again if it does I have the extended warranty til 100K (only have 60K so far). I guess it's just more the luck of the draw. Take for example, pearldiamond, you think he had a choice for the brain he got. Probably not!
Oh btw, does anyone know where I can find a great pair of gym shoes? Not that I need them for myself, but they would mainly be in PearlDiamond's @$$. Good luck with that "AE" kit fool!
