lol you just made me nervous with the maf sensor comment what do i need to avoid doing? Im about to start doing it now, will let yall know how it goes!

 

I swapped over my intake from my '09 that was sitting for a while to my '12 a few weeks ago without having to disconnect the battery. Took less than 20 minutes, and no check engine light came on when starting it up.

 

I installed the Joe Z intake myself. Had to take it off and on multiple times since (spark plug change for one.) I've never once disconnected the battery or pulled the fuse. I guess I don't quite understand how you could mess up the MAF sensor during this process??

 

The MAF is a sensitive, precision sensor and it's not one you'd want to be bumping and banging around while dangling when swapping over from OEM to aftermarket. That's all guys, that's all.

 

i DID IT ON ME OWN,! Following the Sewell instructions, within minutes my car's tan averaged 29 mpg up from the usual 24.!
however I havent noticed the usual sucking noise i'm used to with intakes nor have i noticed my car being any faster or louder..

 

 

You didnt plug in the MAF sensor, lol

 

^ im sure he did it ^..~ but yea man i recently installed my f sport intake same result... a little mpg gain and some sound at 4k rpm... not impresssed at all >:I if i known I would defiantly gotten the K&N intake Q.Q

 

If you look above it shows its plugged in, left of the intake in the bottom.

 

If MAF wasn't plugged in correctly, the car will sputter or stall, then throw up a CEL
