so i went ahead and swapped the sensors rode around about 2 days pulled the codes and got back the same exact codes except for the misfire this time. in fact it came from same bank # 2 even after swapping not sure why same one but at this point going start with changing out maf sensors and see what happens from there.

If it's on the same side, after swapping the MAF's, the MAF's are likely fine. The problem is something else, throttle bodies? Black Betty did a DIY on cleaning TB;s, I used it to do mine a couple of years ago. They weren't that dirty, but it's not a difficult job.

Ses still on
The light went off by itself for 2 days while old maf where on. I changed the sensors for new factory ones last night . This morning I turn on car the ses comes back so no change but why do the codes still blame it on maf!?
What do you guys recommend i try next the plugs alone or the plugs and all coils as well?
Did a ecu reset and the ses went out but I'm sure it will come on again. It's becoming difficult to track down the problem. HELP GUYS

If you are still getting MAF codes, but replaced both the MAFs, you likely have a harness issue or something related to the PCM (ECU). You could throw parts at the misfire, but its still not going to fix your MAF codes. You might need to find a decent shop and have them check out the wiring. You can tell them you already replaced both MAFs.

I am screwed
So guys after getting a complete diagnostic at the dealership they determined my catalytic converter is clogged. They claim there is back pressure. They are telling me that there is also a chance that the bad cat might caused damage to the intake manifold but they wouldn't know until they change the bad cat. This is really depressing news I've had this car for 8 yrs now and it really sucks that it had to come down to this. The car has 68k on it but the warranty expires at 80k or 8 yrs wtv comes 1st and unfortunately mine just expired in may 2018 only 3 months ago. They quoted me 2k to fix I don't even know if I should even bother at this point or just sell it and get a new car. HELP!!!
.
Should I get a second opinion ? I mean wouldnt the dealer be the most accurate being that the have all necessary equipment to test this cars.

thanks slartibartfast that's what I was thinking to get a salvaged one with low miles on it or something I am going definitely look around classifieds here as well appreciate input. As far intake you think I am good ? So hard trust this stealerships once your car is out warranties almost feel like they make stuff up just to get in your pockets

lesson learned never trust this dealerships even if after building trust and them treating you nicely throughout the whole experience but once your warranty is over they will try stick it to ya.
all along it was the spark plugs i should of known. reason i didn't change them is because they only had 68k on them but i guess they where on there for 8 yrs.

Guys needs some direction here been dealing with this issue intermittently now but it appears this time the service engine light is steady on and not going away. I cleaned the throttle body and maf sensor with no change, chg filters and reset ecm. Auto zone pulled the code it showed random misfire and pointed at the maf sensor. Everyday at start up there are 2-3 popping/sputter sounds coming from below the car and it goes away and runs normal for most part except high idle i can feel the car pulling when i have my foot on brake petal doesn't run extremely bad but not as good as it used to also it is consuming more gas than before. I have not changed spark plugs or coils yet. guy please help here what you suggest i do next? do not want to spend money on unnecessary stuff.
Is it true yo can test for a faulty maf sensor by unplugging it and if car doesn't shut off it means its indeed the sensor? because i tried that and my car kept running just started throwing sensor on in my dashboard but still kept on.
