after I put my snow tires/wheels on mine did not come on till about 20 minutes of driving. After it did it once, now it comes on within 30seconds of driving. No beeping though.
Don't most mafs usually have a honey comb on there for the straightner? I know my DSM did, it wasn't plastic it was metal. I was surprised that the MS3 did not. I like the straightner better on the MS3. I have seen pictures of a few people sucking in the honeycomb on very high horsepower EVOs...
After one winter it looks like somone sandblasted the end caps of the sideskirts behind the front tires. I also have little chips all along the side of the side skirt from the crap that gets kicked up by the tires. I think most people, at least those in the states that get snow will want these...
So it isn't just me. I noticed mine a couple days ago. Now it is all I can hear, every bump I hear it. Like you said, it sounds like the dash rubbing against the window.
