It's not *just* about noise, and it does involve rerouting.  Remember
that SE-Rs seem to have an inherent problem with bad grounds... Anybody
heard of a MAF Sensor Reground Proceedure?

I'd be inclined to agree if I hadn't seen dyno charts indicating a 3+
WHP gain, which is noticable (timing advance, WAI, cat-back, all in the
same power gain class).

Look, I'm not an engineer, and I never claimed to be.  The only way to
know is to try it and document it.  Who's game?
