Injen Cold air, 2006 cobalt SS 4dr

I have recently installed the Injen Cold air intake, so far it sounds great, looks great, and gave a nice little boost to my old muffled up air box. However I noticed when installing the MAF sensor the screws that held it in continually turned and never tightened completely down? I pulled on the maf sensor itself and it has an extremely small wiggle but remains tight and won't move out of place. Is this normal? or should the screws tighten and not turn freely?

It only wiggles with a decent amount of pressure... But the screws continually turn. they never tighten to a point where it gets hard to turn... just keep spinning. however you cant pull the MAF out... cant wiggle it out. It's in there. the screws just wont become tight down?

This is by no means an advanced performance modification, so I moved it to the correct section.

I wouldn"t worry about it unless you get a cell or notice a decline in performance.

Mine does the same and my car throws lean codes on idle sometimes with it. But that's it. It's a good intake but has issues. Watch the rad support. It has a tendency to rub it and if you don't watch it, it will rub a hole in the rubbing in no time
