Okay so I bought a spectre CAI for my 2007.5 4.8 Silverado! Well after I start disassembly I then realize that my factory sensory doesn't just unscrew like the instructions say nor the Internet! So has someone changed out my sensor or am I doing something wrong? T

This is the intake I bought


This is where the mass air flow sensor should mount on the CAI


And this is my factory one

two things, I googled your MAF sensor and it looks like you have the correct one (2007 4.8).
second, according to Spectre website you may have the wrong kit. the kit called for on your truck just comes with the metal intake pipe and re-usues your section with the sensor in it, therefore no holes in the metal pipe.
Don't take any of that to the bank, just what I see from their site.

I wonder if i can just buy the newer style MAF sensors and install it? should clip right in just like factory!
