I took mine out. Looked perfectly clean to me. But I cleaned it anyway with a Q-tip and alcohol.
I'd ask if anyone else's that saw a benefit noticed the condition but I doubt anyone could see it w/o taking it out of the tube.

Did mine tonight. I have 50k miles and have had a Stillen intake since 1k. My MAF was slightly dusty when I looked at it. And I mean slightly. After I sprayed it, it was clean as a whistle. Reset the ECU, and went for a drive. Minor change. I can notice it pulling a little harder at lower RPMs, but nothing major. I am wondering if it will increase fuel mileage however, because when the MAF is dirty, it can run rich. So we'll see. I'll post again later if I notice any difference. I only went for a 10 minute ride.
I'm going to revise my previous post. After driving around for a couple more days, I have noticed a marked increase in low end response and mid range power. I noticed that the car had been lagging at the low end. Seems a bit more responsive now. I also used to get a sulfuric odor from my exhaust, and I have not yet noticed that since I cleaned the MAF. I'm not saying it is gone, because I didn't always smell it before. I usually would smell it after romping on it for a bit then coming to a stop. It has yet to do that. I will post again if it goes away completely. I think that smell had something to do with the car running rich.
Mpg...
Have you guys noticed any increase in MPG ? Usually I can't go past 400-450KM with a full tank of gaz, now my trip meter is at 421KM and I still have a little over a quarter tank of fuel left...
Anyways, doesn't mean **** cuz It all depends on how you drive but I believe it helped my MPG since my MAF got cleaned...

yes i did notice that i am now getting better MPG - not by much, but a solid 1-2mpg better. the problem is that i commute to work, and the highway i take to get there (~30 miles) - I-280 - is fairly high-speed. so, one day i may have a cruise control at 80mph, and another day i may be driving 95-100, with sprints to 120-130mph. there are cops, but rarely, and sometimes there are straight 4-lane stretches with everything visible in sight, with no traffic... pure joy. sorry, i digress. the point was that gas usage is vastly different at those speeds.
Transmission shifting...
