Help Help Asap R2C = Dead Car!!!
Defintly weird man, has to be the MAF's, When you reinstall make sure you are super carful with them. I would put mine in a ziplock bag so I did not get any dirt on them.. Like said before make sure everything is sealed and tight. With all the intakes I have done I have never seen this either.
Ok I've installed intakes b4 and now I just installed my R2C intakes and now the car threw a CEL and does not rev past 1000 rpm it just dies each time. I reinstalled it all to check for loose hoses and all is in place and tightly secure. WTF could this b? I tried to leave battery disconnected to reset and it still just dies . Idk what else to do but I installed R2C b4 and never this issue. What could it be???
First question, what is the CEL code it threw???
You need to get an OBDII scanner, and check it.
He stated replacing with the stock intakes had the car running normal, so the intakes are more than likely causing the problem. There has to be a bad reading/connection, or a restriction somewhere.
The inside of the pipes on mine (just installed last night) were horribly filthy black residue and sout..possibly from welding the fittings. Try cleaning your pipes. Also, just leave the sensors plugged in the entire time, that way you know the car isn't pissed about that.

Ok everything is ready to go and I will start but I will disconnect battery while I try to reinstall. If this fails I'm out of ideas, don't know what else to do I checked everything to be tight and secure and in place and everything looks clean and ready for install let's see what happens .

I purchased from Kyle import parts pro I spoke to them and I'm expecting a call back let's see what they say cause they also didn't understand and are looking into it. So hopefully we get to the bottom of this!

Is the only difference the intakes? You're not using certain tubing for one install and different for another? Is the rubber housing that connects the pipe to the throttle body tight and secure? Your best bet, like someone else said, is to install one at a time and narrow it down to possibly only one intake causing the issue. If the MAF sensors work with the stock system then you can rule that out as well as any part of the intakes from there down. Your issue more than likely is near the pipe to throttle body connection. Strange though either way....
