I think they are all the same. And if they aren't, i dont think there is much of a difference between them. Thats just my opinion though. Im not sure.

be careful of ebays. sometimes the IAT sensor input hole will require drilling for it to fit.
but the whistle when shifting gears is awesome sounding. sounds like a quiet BOV

Ya, but you get what you pay for. That's all I'm gonna say. They make work, but at what cost down the road???

The design of it is what should count.
The more straight pipe on both sides of the MAF is what you want.
You can buy 3 E-Bay ones for less that One MAC.

I've heard from some people about the ebay ones not fitting quite as good....but I think it doesn't take much trouble to make them work..
