2001 Boxster S 60km

I replaced my airflow meter last year and after driving it for about 5000km I have to replace it again this year, this isnt normal?

I read online that back pressure from an aftermarket exhaust and can ruin the sensor, is this true? I took out the meter and noticed the metal "paperclip" looked like it was pushed in with a thumb. Does anyone know what that means? The last time i replaced it, it didnt look like that?

One more thing, im looking for a meter online and everyone has the meters with the part number starting 996. The meter I took out from my car starts with 986 are they both compatiable? Also I have E-GAS.

Please help!

Thanks
