Is OEM MAF used when installing new aftermarket intake kit

[doktorek]

Was wondering, where is the MAF sensor mounted on those K&N and other intake kits? Do they have a hole in the new pipe or do I have to chop my original MAF housing/meter and install of the new intake kit with rubber boots?

You will not have to cut your MAF when installing an aftermarket intake. They usually connect inline with silicone couplers.
