I did a search but couldn't find the answer to my simple question. Would it hurt the MAF if I sprayed it with throttle body cleaner to clean it out? I'm painting my CAI/SRI black and when I took it out I noticed it was really dirty.

I've used TBI cleaner with no problems, but as stormin84 says, use the MAF cleaner if you can get it instead.

Ok, I just used the TB cleaner and it worked well. Car seems to have a tad more power. The MAF was pretty darn grungy.

mine is clean as a whistle! not sure HOW you guys get them so dirty, worst ive ever seen on mine is dust (at best) lol. glad you found an alternate solution AND got more power (pfft, like you need it?!?!) :)
