Don't mess with it. The meter was also calibrated taking into consideration the amount of hair the posts "restricts". If you cut out the post, more air will get into the motor than the meter knows about, causing a lean condition. In short, the MAF is the most important sensor on your car... don't mess with it <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
