But no place to plug in the mass air flow sensor. Of course check engine light is on. What to do?

 

You may have to drill a hole in the duct work to insert the sensor?

 

My friend told me he may have come up with a way to plug into the original piece... I figured I would come here for ideas. At first we were thinking dummy plug.

 

Your stock section of maf tubing isn't integrated with the new intake? What intake do you have? I know the K&N utilizes the stock maf section of tubing.

 

It would appear no. I am not sure if it is branded...

 

Is there any way to modify yours that would allow you to splice in the stock maf tubing? For a visual, here's mine with the stock maf tubing installed in the K&N system (immediately behind the heat shield), which is how K&N designed theirs.

Hmm, that is nice. Mine is a small metal piece and no heat shield but I have experienced a shockingly great power increase.

 

This is mine.

You almost need to get another coupling and a few more hose clamps and then install the stock maf tubing between them; so red coupling (pictured) > stock maf tube > new coupling > filter. If there's no heat shield you aren't as limited on space or position so you can afford to extend it a bit.

 

By extend it you mean the metal pipe I already have? Like replacing it with a longer one? We talked about that too to get it more away from the engine and such.
