Sooooo...... We cut off the entire box with the mod, and now the car is running lean as hell and it ruined the o2 sensor. Wtf. Anyone else have this problem. The car only has 4000 miles on it.

 

lol wow no.... the GM tune is rich as all hell... might look into other possible problems!

 

i completely took my box out and i have no problems at all except when it drops below 35 i get the 0171 code

 

Well we had the numbers run and thats what came up.

 

what kind of filter do you have. did you only cut the box off? cutting the box off woudln't cause the car to run lean at all. if it's messing up the maf, maybe you sucked something up through the filter?

 

No, we put a power adder filter on it, and sealed the bottom back up, like the part you have to pull off the wheel well. Idk... they didn't say the MAF was bad.

 

it's def. not the airbox mod that's doing that. is there a leak somewhere either in the intake or exhaust?

 

Thats why you should leave yur damn car alone if you dont know what you doing.

 

a bit harsh, and very uncalled for. everyone has to start somewhere. do you know everything there is to know about cars?

 

no i dont but , but if i dont know i leave it alone. Stop encouraging people to do useless mods and make them do more damage to there car than good.

 

i didn't encourage anyone to do anything. and an airbox mod does not damage your car at all. some people want to learn new things. and you don't learn new things by not doing them. if something goes wrong, you ask questions to figure out what you can do to fix the problem. stop giving the guy a hard time.

 

Tough love. his car has 4k miles on it why is he cutting up his air box.

 

it's a very, very common mod. what does 4k miles have to do with it. it improves air flow a little bit and sounds better. a high percentage of people that don't have aftermarket intakes have done the airbox mod. again, it doesn't hurt anything, and is not the reason why he's having problems with his 02 sensor.

/stupid argument

 

I know what the mod is , it improves noise i want to see the flow chart that shows that it improves anything besides noise and i am also aware that it has nothing to do with his 02 sensor.

 

well GM does it for performance as per the pdf with the clutch install in it

 

I dynod @ 229 with only the airbox mod... I know I wasn't that stock

And I want to see the chart that says you know jack **** about cars.

 

Dude, take a chill pill. Do a search, someone posted a time slip with the stock box and a modded box. I don't remember exaclty how much time he lost, but it was faster with the modded box.

 

try to clean the mass air flow

 

i did the air boz mod at 12 miles and 2.5 pullied my car at 700 miles theres no wrong time to start anything

 

Darkmanx please stop with the rude posts. Now to the poster, as mentioned before try cleaning the MAF worst comes to worst just replace it. Also try a K&N Filter. no modding to get it to fit.
