What? On what basis do you think this is a good thing to do? Do you even understand what function the MAF serves?

You can always go with a speed density tune, it'll tune out the MAF. If you are looking to do this just to fix the problem, I wouldn't. Save some money and pick up a used or new MAF.

I'm not sure how the MAF sensor is designed in the 3.5 L since I do not own one yet (I currently drive a 1999 pontiac grand prix), but not having a MAF will result in decreased gas mileage and performance, for the computer will not know the optimal air/fuel ratio to use. Also, if you take it out, you'll most likely get the service engine light to turn on.

If an aftermarket intake system does not have anywhere to put a MAF in it, heres a simple solution, drill a hole in it, put the MAF sensor in there. I'm not sure how they look like in G's but that should do the trick.

i find it amusing that you think the maf is just an optional piece.
