The stock MAF is the usual dull aluminum color with the stock black electronics box on top. Any aftermarket MAF will be chrome or black plastic, a few are red. The stock units are 70mm but have the big resticktive bar down the center. You can modify the stock unit by cutting out the bar but it could mess the whole unit up. Most likely you have the stock unit with the K&N stock on it. Don't listen to the hype in the adds about a 15 hp gain with just a new MAF. you relly need to have the MAF replaced when upgrading all the other parts, ( exhaust,TB,pullies,etc...) Hope this helps.

GO VOLS ! !
