Went to nissan this morning to change to oil. The guy thier told me that my MAF is bad and i need a braket or something to prevent the intake from shaking... By the way i have a K&N dropin intake with the K&N pipe... Everything is bolded down to me so can you all take a took and give me any suggestion on what braket i should get....

go back to your dealer...tell them theyre retarded morons. Your intake is more than fine. Mine isn't even strapped down to anything, and im using a Franken car midpipe. If you have excelent hi-end power, and experience no bucking/ resisitance around 2500/3000 rpm your MAF is fine. Like i said im at about 51000 miles, 48000 miles with the frankencar and nothing bad has happend. Maf failure for my 2k2 was due to over oiling and ECU overcooking maf.

 

i am a little confussed, perhaps by the terminology. a k&n drop in is simply a stock replacement that goes inside the stock air box. second, k&n does not make a midpipe for us. there are a few makes of midpipes such as franken, homemade, upper piece from CAI and a few berk ones. if your maf was bad then you would know it. the cel would light up and you would not be able to rev over around 3k rpms. i think the dealer may have been looking for a little profit since they dont make much on oil changes unless you paid them for a synthetic one. last time i saw a brochure, they charged 69 for a syntheic job. anyways, i dont even use a bracket on mine and ive no maf issues as of yet.

 

yeap...he has a K&N cone filter with a K&N MAF adaptor. Bad MAF dosent always trigger CEL, a failing maf will not trigger it. I accidentally threw mine across the garage and so did Emax. No problems.

 

thanks for the replys. well that what the stealer told me but anyway everything is under warrenty and they call me earlier this afternoon to coming in tommorrow to change the sensor. I let you all tomm what was teh verdit.........
