3 inch intake to a 4 inch cai on a 2lt rs

ok so i want to build, for my 2lt rs, a CAI! so far i have a 4 to 3 inch reducer. the 3 inch part attaches to the throttle body, the 4 inch port attaches to a 4 in intake [stock] from a ls3 intake. i trimmed off the resonator box and the the vacuum port box and had to cut off about 3 inches of the ls3[ throttle body end.]the filter end of the ls3 intake tube has a 4 inch flex coupler permanently attached to the filter end. from there i have attached a 4 inch maf sensor housing mount, then the 4inch universal maf housing, then another 4 inch alum. tube, that attaches to the cone filter. i am going to put a thermal wrap on all of it and build my own box for the filter. my only problem is the maf sensor. i currently have the stock one from the 3 inch intake, i am trying to find out if can reuse this in a 4 inch system or can i use the stock one from the v8 or ls3. i have put this question out there and am waiting for the answer. yes i know i can buy the set up already professionally engineered but i am not going to spend 200 to 400 $ for polished alum. that i intend to protect from the under hood heat. nor am i interested it the black wing system that is to much like stock. any constructive input is greatly appreciated thanks o by the way support your local barbershop get a haircut
