My new MAF came in the mail, christmas eve. I was going to put it in and reset my ecu and hope for the best (Ive been having a power loss and random code problem)

But when I removed the old oem sensor and compared it to the maxima one, they are different in a few ways construction wise, length, and ammount of pins.

You can see in this picture the, oem on the lright, maxima on the left. That the maxima one is about 5/8" longer than oem. It also has 5 male pins on the top of it, where my oem one only has 4. I did test fit it into my oem MAF tube and it fits fine, just lower in the tube.

What do you guys think? Ive confirmed it is the right part number everyone has listed, and the correct part number on the box, are they just a similar sensor that works or is something up here. Hoping to catch someone who has gone this route.
