Well, I'm bringing this thread back to life because as promised, I bought the item off of E-Bay - the $8.95 MAF adapter and filter.

 

This is what came in the package:

The filter appears to be of higher quality than the APC $25 jobber that I got at Advanced Auto. It also appears to be cleanable and reusable ala K&N, vs. el-cheapo filters (hermmmm APC?)

 

The adapter is simple plastic. My only gripe is that the holes do not line up 100%. All the holes line up somewhat, but not perfectly. Nothing a little rat-tail file or a larger dill bit won't fix in about 5 minutes. All in all, I'm satisifed that my nine bucks was well spent.

 

Total with shipping was $18.95 including the adapter plate, filter, gasket, and mambo worm-gear clamp.

 

Here is a rough shot of the way the holes don't quite line up:

I'll let you know how it all goes back together once I get my car back (long story...not pretty).

I put it all together last night. All it took was a minute with that rat-tail file (chainsaw file) to slot the holes and it came together nicely. When I fired the engine up, the sweet sounds of an open intake greeted my ears. The old one was definitely clogged up just based on listening to the new one.
