Default Quick question for you guys

Previous owner installed this real shitty cold air intake. Witch is fine but I live in Canada and road debris gets all caught in it. So I was wondering if I can just take a hacksaw to it and make my own short ram intake out of it? Anyone see any problems with this idea? Sensor is just a bit close to where new air filter will be.

Should be fine as long as you can get the air straightener in there somewhere. Without it people have had MAF cal problems

Did it have an internal air straightener? If so, that needs to go in ahead of the MAF or it will not read air mass correctly and will not send accurate voltage to the ECU for your air to fuel ratio.

I know where the MAF sensor is. I'm asking about a vane like plastic insert that goes in the pipe ahead of the MAF sensor to guide the airflow across the sensor.

It probably should have one.
