Hey,

When exploring my options for mounting a MAF, someone who's running my exact same kit recommended I check out Performance MRP. They're a small fabrication company that make very high quality MAF housings for a variety of vehicles. I got their E9x 3.5" diameter housing which fit perfectly between my inlet and cone.

The wiring harness for the MAF did need to be extended about 10 inches. If I were to do it again I would add a few more inches just for the sake of having more slack on the wires. You can extend the wires fairly easily with some butt connectors, and posi locks. Solder will work but the other methods are simpler.

Your housing should work fine as long as the MAF o ring fits well, and you extend the wires
