Intake-MAF question

Hello,

at the moment I've installed the HKS Intake Duct and the HKS Hybrid Air Filter. I also have closed the big resonator in front of the Air filter.

Now I'm thinking to buy the Supertek Intake Pipe. Why? Because I like to remove the sound generator and the small resonator. I like the Supertek, it looks clean and nearly as the OEM.
In combination with the HKS Intake Duct and th AirFilter, is it safe to use the Supertek Pipe regarding the MAF Sensor? I really don't like to do a remap or to damage the engine.

Do I just need to recalibrate the MAF Sensor by unplugging the battery?
At first I was thinking to buy the Greddy Intake, but it seems that then I have to remap my car.

What you think guys? Thank for your reply.

I'm interested but I doubt you'd ship to Italy?
But what about the MAF? Can I install the Supertek without bothering the MAF behaviour? No problems? No remap neccessary?

Generally maf scaling or problems arise when the new intake component moves the position of the maf sensor or changes the diameter of the tube the maf sensor sits in or removes the "air straightner" that is in the stock air box that smooths turbulance around maf sensor.

If you supertek pipe does none of those it should be ok, ie it simmilar to a perrin intake tube.

MAF position and Airbox are staying intact. I asked Perrin and the told be it should not be a problem. Great.
