??PR CAI Problem??

I just finished installing my CAI, but when i start the car, by where the filter it sounds like a vaccum, very loud, and the car sounds like it is dying when i start it. then if i step on the gas a little but, it revs up a little, then the car quickly loses power, sounds like it will stall but it dose not. I had to order a new MAF from Nissan, b/c i broke the other one, could this be my problem???? I get no service engine light.

How did you break your MAF sensor??? Did you break the mounting holes or the sensor inself? If you broke the mounting holes it shouldn't cause that much of a problem... I did the same thing and crazy glued it back...
If you break the sensor, it means trouble... If that's the case, you should be seeing the Check engine light soon... Also, it'll cause your car to stall, similiar to the problems you're having now or even worse...

OH and it's normal for the filter to sound like a vaccum.. That's what the intake is actually doing... Sucking up air!!...
