However, unless I am wrong, you need a straight line before and after the maf to negate turbulent air to get a good flow across the sensor, preferably about 3 to 4 inches on both sides.

You are right though, it will be better than the original design.
I'll sketch out my planned design for new charge pipe and see what you guys think. I knew I should try to have straighter air before the sensor but hadn't really contemplated after the sensor.

There's two ideas; one literally puts the MAF before the TB then the pipe bends away. So it would be going straight into the TB a couple inches past the sensor. This limits how much straight pipe can be pre-sensor as there is only about an extra inch of clearance for routing towards the inner fender and shock tower than the stock Stillen piece.

The second is to have slight bends at the TB then straighten out again, which is there the MAF would be, then Y together and make the last bend back towards tophe blower. This would provide pretty straight air both before and after the sensor.

Also contemplated is how to make sure the air before the Y will be separated into the two pipes to maintain the same flow to each - or am I overthinking that last part and isn't co pletely necessary.
