Does intake do more harm than good?

I think a majority of the gains are with the less restrictive filter, I think the best bang for the buck is the panel filter to the stock airbox. All of my data indicates that the stock airbox really isn't a restriction, and as mentioned earlier, you have to be moving ALOT of air for the airbox to become a restriction. I do have reservations on the snorkle inlet as the only air source of the stock airbox, but there are remedies for that..

The positioning of the maf itself doesn't affect how the maf works for the most part, it really is positioned the way it is to prevent dirt from getting into it. The MAF is also very vibration sensitive, so as long as its anchored and doesn't bounce around, it really shouldn't matter. I have never done any testing with the orientation of the MAF so I don't have any personal experience with what it would do though.
It really is only subject to the turbulent airflow that it can get.. Anything you can do to reduce turbulent airflow through the metered portion of the sensor, should help reduce stalling and anomolous readings which could lead to drivability problems.

its pretty easy to make a contraption to hold the filter down around the edges.
