with that kind of part i wouldn't go to ebay. go to a local auto parts store and get something that will 100% work for your car. you're going to have to bite the bullet on this one. you need a funtional MAF, or you're setting your self up for major issues and increased cost of more parts needed like O2 senors.

Well, others have already chimed in. Taking out the MAF is like trying to eat with no mouth. It is a critical component to your car. They run about $450 new. HOWEVER, there are a lot of guys like me that have removed a stocker for an upgrade such as with a blower. I have one for example that fits a GT. Not sure what car you have.

BTW, you need a MAF specifically designed for your car. Get a genuine Ford part. Otherwise, you will need a chip and a return which will add another $500+.
