Im getting a 181, and 189 error code. It says both banks still lean under part throttle. When the cars not warm it will crackle out of the exhaust when i shift. Sounds kinda cool but anyway.... It started happening after I put the new MAF in. Could that be the culprit, or does it mean something else.

Those aftermarket MAF's aren't calibrated excactly as they should to the injectors, they are only designed to get you close enough so you dont return it to put it simply. Get a LMAF and get it calibated by a dyno tuner to YOUR injectors...My Pro-M 75mm bullet did the same thing to my car until i installed the LMAF.
