Thanx, I drove it and then let it sit for an hour or more and the code was there upon startup. I didn't disconnect the battery upon install, was I supposed to?

I'll disconnect the batter, but I noticed that I didn't install the filter slightly offset and upside down. It's perfectly upside down so I'll turn it a lil and disconnect the battery.

My friend has an code reader/deleter so I'll have him check it on Monday.

Thanx

You have to disconnect the battery to clear the code. Or, if the condition no longer exists, it will go away on its own after a few off/on cycles. I can't remember how many. It would be better to get the code read, though, then get it cleared by the reader. That way you know what's up.

I disconnected the battery, tilted the filter so it was facing 11o'clock. Waited 15 mins and starter it up. No CEL code. Shut car off for 5 minutes. Started up and CEL was there.

Prob need to clean the MAF sensor.

Thats a great deal..... If they are all painted up and ready to go .....I wouldn't let what i said about temps bother you too much . Your in MN so it might be better to have a little extra heat up there lol.

That sucks .... let us know what code it pops up . I cant remember if the intake lets you put the MAF in the wrong way.....or if there is only one way it can go. Might want to double check that .

Only other thing I could think of is maybe a piece of dust or dirt got on the maf and it just needs a good spray of cleaner . Good luck !

K& N drop in & D/P is all you need with GMS1. Maybe the airbox too.

If I were running GMS1 I would prolly be running a K&N drop in with the ZZP intake tube on the stock Airbox...... The tube off the back of the box is really restrictive with the accordion section and bend . Then maybe take the snorkel off the bottom as well cause it does narrow the inlet down some ....... and a ZZP catless DP .

That's what I did.

Super loud exhausts are only cool for a couple of days. After that, especially if it's your daily driver, the drone becomes insufferable.

I'm gettin a headache just thinking about my old SS with full Vibrant exhaust. Never again.

Im looking at the ZZP LNF downpipe with these options:

Offroad with angled O2 bung - is the offroad the cat? also is angled the one I wanna go with?
both gaskets
additional O2 bung (running an AEM digital Wideband)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Offroad means NO cat .... the angled o2 will not throw codes for the missing cat. I bought mine with both gaskets but without the extra o2 bung . You only need the extra o2 if you have or bought another wideband for some reason .....most use the factory wideband.

Cattless isn't super loud at all ..... its really mild at part throttle and not over kill at WOT. I left the rest of the catback stock thou.

I'd maybe consider going catless if I had a stock catback.. but I bought the car with a fart cannon on it, removed it 2 days later and just did a muffler delete.. so now given my situation, catless is definately a no go.. even the catted DP's are going to be louder than I'd probably originally planned for the car but I'll deal with it

I hear ya there..... That's why I haven't touched my stock catback hehe. I like having some exhaust sound but it can easily be overdone.

a catted downpipe is more expensive than a catless...right?

might save a few bucks by slappin a muffler on now vs. later.. but it might not be that big of a deal
