The MAF sensor needs to be placed in straight airflow to perform properly.
The problem with these kind of aftermarket intake is they don't bother putting proper baffles in the MAF mount to direct airflow. So the air swirls around and enters the sensor with turbulence. This will occasionally throw a CEL light, I'm not sure what affect it has to power though, but my guess is, it can't be good.
