Default NOT!...
Silicone is death for MAFs and O2 sensors. It should NEVER be used in any form anywhere near the intake of a car.

Mobil1 Synthetic Grease works fine.

Default How's it going to get from the K-Macs on the rear bars to his MAF?
And I was under the impression that Mobil1 Synthetic grease is bad for poly bushings and will break them down over time. Most people say to use only Silicone on poly bushings. Not sure what bushings are near our car's intake.... strut bushings sorta....kinda... not really.

I was thinking of lubing the diverter valve. Just did mine, it was on my mind.
