Default Question???

Just put the blackwing in and it is definitely worth the money. Is an after market MAF sensor worth the money??? If yes, any particular one? I just started with the mods - the blackwing was the very first.

Thanks

Hey there lingen!! From all that I have read it seems that MAFs aren't worth it. I might be wrong but I have been lurking around here for a while, anticipating my C5. (Which I got Tuesday!!! Woohoo!!) Glad you like the blackwing, cold air will probably be my first mod!! Good luck to you!!

From what I have seen, the aftermarket MAFs are NOT worth the money. Save your money for better mods.

If you like the blackwing, you'll love the vararam! Keep the stock MAF.
