will after market intake really kill MAF???

I recently put an after market filter on, and got rid of the stock airbox, 3 months later today I get really rough idling, and stalling, and smells rich and it looks as though my car is a TDI from the back, but its not, really black exhaust! I took it to auto zone to dump the codes, got both oxyegen sensors bad, and also Mass air flow sensor, which I just had replaced under warrenty 6 months ago, no check engine light is on either. what should I do any Ideas!????

Not at all. If open air intake or cold air intake (CAI) is installed properly it won't hurt the car one bit.

Hmm.... that makes me wonder then???? thanks

i put a CAI on a 97 Jetta with no problems, the chk. engine light is constantly on b/c of the lack of a MAF though.

haha took it into dealer, ended up being the MAF again, hopefully I wont be replacing this every 20000 miles its my second one, got it done for free though through the recall so thats cool, chic said its warrentied up to 7 years 70000 miles, I have 61000, so not much time before Ill be dumping $350 dollars of my own cash, on this part o well!
