    MAF Sensor fitment

    My 4.6 is throwing codes for too lean. I am going to clean the MAF sensor as a first step, but the sensor itself didn't fit too well when I put it back in after a CAI upgrade (it was a demolet CAI). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the sensor to seal better? I think the stock part it...

    oil in muffler

    I recently noticed oil in my magnaflow muffler. Does this mean bad rings or what? the other muffler is a bassani. I also have 4.10 gears I don't know if that is relevant. did the different mufflers mess the exhaust flow and hurt my engine? the bassani muffler visibly emits alot more fumes. thanks
