I doubt that it is your air filter causing it, however recheck your clamps and connections and also if need be you might have to remove the maf and clean it with a proper solution

Thumbs up

I did this mod tonight after work. It didn't take long at all and the sound you get is amazing. By the way, very nice how-to.

I bought mine here - free shipping. 5" Element with a 3.25" diameter. Fits perfect, and instead of drilling a hole, I just put in a smaller deep well 8mm socket and tightened it through the top air hole.

Just installed it and man she whines! I love it!!

Your MAF sensor has probably gotten oil on it from the oiling of the filter. Take it out and clean it, those things are very sensitive. I let my filter sit overnite when I oiled it.

Once you clean the MAF... unplug the battery to reset the ECU, and try again.

I did my mod on Monday... no problems at all, and sounds absolutely wicked.

No CEL here. I thought the point of the airbox mod was to avoid the CEL in the first place.
