It would be great of someone could measure the diameter of the MAF tube on the Gen 3 vs the OEM pipe.

I mentioned that possiblity too -- if so, the small performance difference will vanish with tuning and you'll just have a very expensive noise maker bolted to the car...

I will say this: I have seen MANY crappy airbox designs -- this one actually seems to work pretty well. No butterfly valves to obstruct air -- straight path -- cool air ductwork.
