I got a custom intake put on my IS today...sounds great. i noticed the Maf sensor is higher up on the intake than the stock one. dose this hinder the performance of the car?? Should I get this corrected??? has any one tried playing with the positioning of the maf sensor?

MAF = mass air flow sensor

You really should have told them to put the MAF in its original location. This can cause your car to run a little rich.
