I'm pretty sure they are located in your exhaust. I don't think you can clean them out. They are pretty easy to swap out and cost about $60-$70. Maybe cheaper..

It is not in the exhaust, it is just after your air filter. Read the DIY from Pancho

The air filter cover connects to the MAF on the top part of the engine. Just go to Autozone and buy a can of MAF sensor cleaner and follow the instructions from PANCHO. It made a huge difference in my car when I cleaned it out. Its worth a try and only costs a couple bucks.

It's def. not located in the exhaust & it's not a $60-$70 part.

MAF is a Mass Airflow Sensor/Meter. It's located at the back of the airbox/engine close to the firewall. Have it cleaned first. It's quite pricey to replace. Around $300 +/-
