Causes MAF mis-readings, just like most cold air intakes.

If you like the look of the Zerosports MAF tube, then it's all good.

It probably doesn't affect power enough to feel the difference.

Thanks I went to the site but the zerosport is placed after the MAF. Will this hurt my car?

No it wont hurt your car, but it wont really help either.

FWIW, while at his dyno day event a few weeks ago, I asked Shiv/VISHNU about the negative effects of intake mods on WRX's. His exact words were, "If you want to add any mods, do it as far away from the MAF sensor as possible." I even specifically asked about after MAF intake tubes, like the ZEROSPORTS and new SAMCO unit. He just reiterated the aforementioned comment and advised me and everyone in attendance that $$$ could be better spent elsewhere/on other mods.

Peace
