If cost is an issue, get a used one from a junkyard for a 97 Subaru Outback with a 2.5 liter motor. It shows a different part number, but its a drop in replacelemt. My MAF went bad and I couldnt wait for the dealer to locate me one, so after extensive research, I have found that this part has the same diameter, plug, bolt holes, and the electrical output matches that of a good working SVX MAF. I dropped it into mine for $37 and the check engine light went out imemdiatly and it runs great again. Hope this helps.

PS - I ran a K&N air filter and I am reading a bunch of internet research that shows that the fine oil from the filter is the possible cause of early hot wire MAF failures. Just a FYI.
