I'm replacing the MAF on my RS, and the clamp holding it on is pretty much shot. Here's a pic in case you don't know what it looks like:



I tried finding a replacement for it today, but the guy at Advance had no idea what it was, and the guy at AutoZone tole me to try Home Depot. Is there any chance of Pep Boys/CarQuest/NAPA having it, or am I going to have to go to the dealer for a new one?

A hose clamp should work fine.

I almost tried that, but it seems like it wouldn't work so well because this clamp has a lip on either side to hold it in place. I guess I'll have to give it a shot.

You should be able to get a new one from GM. You'll probably need Oetiker pliers to put it on properly.
