    Title says it. What is the best aftermarket mass air flow sensor? Is this something that you must really stick to OEM on? Autozone ones are $108, rockauto has them as low as 57 and other ones around 70 or 80.

    Yes, I searched.

    OEM, only OEM. Its a calibrated conductor, dont want to screw with that.

    Try bmaauto.com. I always use them and they will ship for free for orders over $75.

    Here is the one I got for my 3.4, Denso MAF from Amazon and it was half price almost, compared to Auto Zone or O'reilly's that wanted a lot more! The element was cracked on mine. Simple fix!

    Sensors can be tricky on these engines I buy mine from Toyota.

    I always have the worse luck so I try and circumvent problems when ever possible.

    Then it is much easier to buy parts in person at the dealer then online for me.
