Default Dual Exhaust CEL Follow-up

In my other post about the CEL coming on after the duals were installed, I mentioned that the problem seemed to be linked to instances of WOT. Given that, I made an adjustment with the X-Cal 2 to the WOT A/F ratio by going 2% richer. Since then, I haven't had the CEL (since Saturday). Perhaps this change corrected the problem, or the ECM finally recognized the increased flow and compensated, even though I disconnected the battery after the install in an effort to minimize any problem. Time will tell if the problem is corrected or not. I'll post an update if any changes occur.

I also talked about my light coming on as well. I got to the dealer the other day and after some checking we figured out what it was. The MAF sensor was so dirty that it was causing some problems and also the breathing tube from the CAI touched something on the engine and it burned a whole in the rubber tube. Cleaned the MAF with some special spray and replaced the tube now the problem is 90% better....If only i could figure out a way to get the CAI not to rattle against the damn body then i'd be all set!
