AFM disable(RANGEV8) and CAI Intake w/ exhaust - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

YellowL99 · 04-16-2013, 04:19 PM

So after having my camaro for about 3 weeks I grew tired of the AFM, especially after having Jerry (IdealG) install dynomax exhaust and having a farting machine lol I ordered the Rangev8 to disable this and all I can say is why didnt i do this earlier!? I love it and i get to show off my exhaust a lot more without the embarrassing fart noise lol I have noticed that I havent gone through gas as much and Ive gone up about 1.7 mpgs although ive only had this for about a week. It has me wondering what was the point of AFM? Anyway, today my dashboard lit up today and kind of panicked until i remembered members having the same problem. I turned off my car to remove it and kept driving. The lights eventually turned off so I guess ill be plugging in the Range device after turning the car on....Anyway, on to the intake...

I ordered a Cold Air Inductions intake from JDP Motorsports(dads camaro) and the same intake from Chase of Apex Motorsports. I received mine today and of course I had to install it once I got it, especially since its my birthday

. This baby looks so clean and flush I love it! Even had a few cop friends stop by to check it out and they loved it! Took it out for a spin... ok maybe a long spin but I could feel the difference in power and love it! Sucks I cant hear the whistle or anything but its ok ill live lol. Thanks Chase and Adam for my new products!

Super nice!

Very nice congrats. I got the same setup. MPG does seem better with intake an Range. I too had that issue with brake light and ABS signs. Mine also beeped like it does with the key in ignition and door open. This was about 3 maybe 4 wks ago and hasnt happened again. Seems it could be a mis read when the Range turns and and ignition is hit. Makes sense since the Range has on/off logic.

The range messes with your abs sorry new to the range world just wondering why it would bring up the abs lights lol

Mine works fine. I heard that Range has an update to correct some earlier anomalies.

litle88 · 04-18-2013, 03:08 PM

Do it right and tune it out, with a tune and your gonna wish you hadn't spent the money on that after you drive a tuned L99.

This thing is aimed at the guys who want to sound good but keep their warranty in effect.

This device must leave some kind of evidence that it was used. I'm sure a savvy tech at GM could figure out if the car's programming was tampered with.

This has been tested already. One of our very own members from c5 actually said f it and took their ride to the dealer and had them scan the ecu.

[QUOTE=nyrfan;6415787]Great news! I was just at the dealer and had them scan my ECM. Even with a couple of start ups with the lights there is no record at all. The only thing stored was a low voltage at some point and that was probably from a recent fuse pull I did.

Tune if you want to; Range if you want to.
It's totally OK.
