Even then, if airflow through the MAF housing is very turbulent, it still may be very inconsistent and hard to tune for. There's more to intake design than welding a MAF tube up and slapping on a filter. Where the bends are and the radii of them are very important to airflow, and it's not likely that ebay parts makers are doing anything besides slapping a tube and filter together. I'd bet good money that you would see more power, lower IATs and more consistent performance from a stock airbox on the dyno than an ebay intake. Or cut the MAF tubes off your stock airboxes and DIY up a CAI like others here have done.
these are replica fujita intakes and not just some ebay special intake that was given to me(as i found out recently, via youtube and google)

here are the Fujita intake


and here are mine
