I agree. The MAF sensor is calibrated for a certain size intake diameter. If you change the diameter (to much) you will change the velocity of the air. The O2 sensors should keep the A/F ratio correct but it would do it by pulling fuel back because there’s more air than the MAF told the ECM.

I buddy just experienced this is an engine swap in a Jeep where he upsized from 3” to 4” with the stock MAF sensor.
