Not had the chance yet. The pipe is connected to the airbox with a very tight fitting round clamp. Its not the usual 'O' clip type thing with the screw to tighten it up. Are these clamps factory originals or do the dealers/specialists have a secial tool to remove them. Im afraid that if i remove it i wont be able to get it back on again. Interestingly the new maf is connected using the standard 'O' type clamp with the screw thread at each end.

Does this mean the airbox pipe has never been disconnected from the throttle body? So how would someone replace the sparkplugs and coils without removing the throttle body?
