Okay...so I found this website that has the PRO-M MAF for $215 SHIPPED. It also comes with a billet housing (blue, black, clear, chrome). It can either be tuned for CAI or not for no extra charge. Is $215 brand spankin new for a blue billet aluminum PRO-M MAF worth it? Are the performance gains noticable? I have a CAI and SLP Catback exhaust.
here's the link to the site:

the only draw back is decreased gas mileage. but its a price you pay for more power right?

but wouldnt having a CAI and a TB help lean that "richness" out? Or would it still run rich w/ CAI and TB?

oh it would probably run richer to tell you the truth. since the CAI and the 62mm TB allow more air to pass in, more fule must be delivered to compensate and hopefully even out the mixture, but you cannot get an exact A/F mixture with our engines, but anyways, the CAI and your TB, help inhale more air to pass through the MAF, givign the signal that tells your engine to deliever even more fuel.

it kinda manipulates the PCM to deliver more fuel, basically it just says "hey more gas here and here" which = more power.
i think its a nice buy, i know i'll get one somewhere down the road.

I said I was getting the Mini AFC more towards the summer....it's in the thread. Also, the Pro-M MAF is larger diameter, no divider thingy in the middle, no screen, and calibrated for cold air intake (more fuel delivery)

I hate all the mixed reviews lol.....a TON of people on GAowners.com rave about it saying how awesome it is....Aleromod basically has NOone that recommends it....and GAGT.com has about a 1/2 & 1/2 decision on it....AH! f*** it, I'm getting it...someone has to be the test dummy!

if yoru buying a mini afc 2.2 then why buy the pro m? they do similar things.
but the afc 2.2 is MUCH better interms of allowing YOU to decide on how rich or lean you run your car.
the afc 2.2 is a WAY better choice than the Pro M because you will NEVER out flow a stock maf unless your boosted, point blank.
buy the afc and leave the pro m crap alone

true, but that wasnt the message i was exactly trying to say. i was trying to say more fuel is delivered to compensate for the more air thats coming in.
