Some intakes botch it and place the line after the MAF, which screws with the actual airflow. Some place it prior to, which works as intended except that you lose the filtration on the line (potentially) or introduce a blocking surface into the intake (possibly).
A third idea is to filter it to the outside air in the engine bay via an APC or other filter. I've done this in the past, but it's kind of unclear as to whether this is completely legal. It doesn't piss with your airflow to the engine after the MAF, but it doesn't preserve the closed-circuit design of the original intake. I once had an idea to plumb it into a pre-MAF area and custom-cutting the foam filter to fit within the breather itself (retaining the circuit and the filtration), but I never got around to it.
