Default MAF Broken- Need Help

Hey guys- had my 02 Z for a couple of weeks and installed my VaraRam tonight. The AC condenser and radiator were packed with grass, sticks, dirt, plastic bags and some other crap. But my main concern is the MAF. The plastic side of housing is cracked where it slides in the hose and the broken portion has to be blocking airflow.
I guess I need to buy another one- any suggestions on OEM vs aftermarket? I have the CAI and plan on long tubes and cat back exhaust. Does the mass air flow sensor have much affect on power and or fuel consumption ??

DO NOT even consider the Granitelli MAF. There a benches all over the world where they're being used as paperweights.

Go stock which is fine.

I'll go even further and say; do not even consider any aftermarket MAF. Make sure you buy the stock OEM MAF for your year and model of car.

I'll have one available after this weekend if you're interested. I'm swapping mine out for a LPE 100mm to fit my new setup.

Good time for a Haltech Screen (or simmilar) if the maf sreen has been removed.
