MAF Location
haven't really paid too much attention to location, and I am sure I could pop the hood and look, but being lazy tonight 
Heard chatter about cleaning MAF when you have drop in K&N? So where do I look

Wires....
Disconnect the wiring, two screws to take it out, and pull straight up.
The brown doo-hickey you see on the end of the wires is a thermistor, measures the incoming temp. The actual MAF heated wires are up inside the housing, tough to see. Only a small proportion of the air goes up and over, past the sensor - this is the part that will spoil your day if there is ANY oil on it.
Spray brake cleaner or solvent up there, do NOT try and wipe it,
even a q-tip will bend/stretch/break it.
