As for cleaning the MAF sensor, I use the spray made for the job and do not touch the sensor with anything. I just spray it well and let it dry.

I think you'd get much more out of headers than you would just a muffler and even a stock catback will sound good with longtubes IMO. You can get the Ebay stainless longtubes and Y pipe for $300, so with the cash you save by not buying the Airaid Jr. tube and saving what it would cost to weld in a nice aftermarket muffler, you'd be pretty much even on the cash outlay. Just another option to consider. If I did it over, that's exactly what I would do.

FWIW, I tuned mine for 87 octane and have tried doing a 93 octane tune, but since I don't drag race the truck and just drive it, the 87 octane tune suits me best. The power difference did seem a little noticeable, but not a night and day difference between the two different tunes.

Good Luck with it whatever you decide.
