Hey guys...
I am about to buy some shielded wires for my MAF wiring on ebay.
I am just wondering how many gauges of shielded wires I should buy?

should I buy this one?

i used sheielding from Cat5 cable and have not had a problem with my MAF signal, same deal. all it does is shield the wire from emi. which is what that jacket on cat5 cable does.

i also used a haggared KA harness for anotehr SR harness job i did.

so if you have an old ka harness lying around use the wiring off of that.
