New MAF. Should I replace my Stillen Intake?

I'm getting my new MAF installed today along with a throttle body cleaning and ECU reset. The dealer is suggesting that I replace my Stillen Hi-Flow Intake with the stock airbox to prevent any future issues with a blown MAF. Do you guys agree or is he just blowing smoke up my a$$? Thanks!

No, I do not agree at all.
My Dealership has no problems with my intake at all. HAHA Nismo even makes one!
Keep your intake just start cleaning the filter more often.
Also, get some Seafoam from Pep-boys or Auto-zone to keep the TB clean.

Yeah I try to be modest with it but then end up thinking I didnt put enough. I guess less is better in this case with our sensitive MAF's.
