What is the differance in MAF's from 98 to 99 and newer? I was looking on zzp and they only have them for 99 and newer and i have a 98 and was thinking about geting a new this summer.

There is a slight difference in design. The one for 99-03 3800's will not work in prior years.

My MAF recently went out and rather than but a new one from zzp for 119.00, I bought a stage 1 throttle body for 190.00. It came with new TPS, MAF, and IAC. ZZP has them available for the L36 and L67 as well as years 1997-newer.

Just to add to that the internal calibration electronically is slightly different and the 97-98 MAFs normally do not have the plastic tube covering the wire element with the thermistors as do the 99 and up.

Bob (bnaylor) has one too. He probably could notice a difference with all his mods, But I use my GTP as a daily driver, so no, I dont rod on it, and I didnt notice any difference, that doesnt mean its not there. MPG increased since then, but I'm attributing that to the warmer weather.

I would also say that girls outside with tighter and equally smaller clothes are due to the warmer weather.
