Im fixin to add a lil kick to my up til now primary show car. As you can see in profile it is a 2004 auto with 3:15 gears. I have already installed cold air intake and performance power duct. Exhaust is Corsa with x-pipe.
I intend to install headers, BBK intake and 80mm throttle body, and Granatelli mass air flow sensor for cold air intake. My question is will the mass air flow sensor cause any problems with codes. Seems like I read about a lot of them doing so in mods. The car will have a performance tune after these installs.
Appreciate your opinions and knowledge.
MAX

O K, let me ask something in particular. Any problems with adding performance mass air meter and leaving cats out when I do header install. ie: codes, mileage, noise, etc, etc.
Dang, 26 views and not a peep out of you guys

The Granatelli mass air flow sensor generally does not have a good reputation amongst enthusiasts...got you back to the top, anyway.
You might try a search in the Technical Forum for numerous past discussions and reasons.

There's nothing you are doing that the tune can't fix.

Thanks JW and Tim. I did research it in tech and got some useful information. I think I will proceed with a less aggressive MAS for now.
