Need some help

You should look into the Range AFM Disable. It is currently the only way to rid yourself of the AFM agony, other than tuning it out. The nice thing about the Range is if you want to return to having AFM, you just unplug it from the OBD port. If you want to do that with a tune, it requires another tune. Plus, Range does not effect any warranty you may have remaining.

Here are a couple of links to reviews I performed when the Range first became available to C5. They involve some reading, but I thing they are pretty thorough.

There are lots of folks here using the Range with very few (and very minor) issues. Scroll through that entire thread and see all comments.

Range is the way to go until your ready to tune it out!

Look into a Ported Throttle body. It really wont effect your HP, but will give you a noticeable difference in throttle response.
Tampa Tuning sells them.
Also look into a cold air scoop and WW delete kit. Apex makes a great one, it puts more cold air to the intake.

Looks like a cheapo K&N filter its not a CAI or Rotofab that's for sure, you should be getting around 25 mpg on the freeway so yes your car is messed up, and BTW there is no where in the USA a muffler delete is O.k. with law enforcement so think about upgrading the exhaust to a non teenager exhaust mod with a hack saw or pay to have it done with a nice ticket and proving it in court some day is what happens.............. No professional muffler install shop should remove or alter a muffler or catalytic converter to make a car not in compliance with EPA rules as it is a big no-no. Cars that came with mufflers from the factory have to have mufflers, and especially catalytic converters, should you remove them you make your car a track only non street legal car here where I live, and in many places you could not register it through smog testing ever and ever get registration without returning it to a more stock configuration having mufflers. Just a heads up, a muffler delete is not a mod!!!!!

Put it in paddle shifter mode, go to third gear, then back down to first. Afm will be disabled until you put it into park, neutral, reverse, or drive.

Interesting. I've read a lot of posts on here with guys who have done a muffler delete to their Camaros.

This sounds like the rant of someone that paid 800 bucks for an exhaust system that sounds almost identical to a 50 buck muffler delete.

In Texas all you need is cats. Maybe not ok to law, but good luck finding someone willing to ticket you over it.

Congratulations on your purchase O.P, I dont own an L99 so I csnt give you insight on your problem, but in my M6 SS I get about 22-25 mpg at 60-65.

"there is no where in the USA a muffler delete is O.k. with law enforcement " - I don't think that is entirely accurate.

"No professional muffler install shop should remove or alter a muffler or catalytic converter" - I agree with the Cat portion of this statement.

"here where I live, and in many places you could not register it through smog testing" - That's why I don't live on the left coast... too much BS rules and regs in the name of protecting a freaking polka-dot garden slug or striped-legged mosquito.

It has two previous owners so it's difficult to know everything that was done to it but the dealer said it had a muffler delete done to it as well as a K&N CAI. It sounds amazing but I want more.

*I'm moving from Jax NAS area to Fernandina beach, FL and was wondering if anyone else is in that area. I'm also looking for a trustworthy tuner that is to notch... I've had my fill of bad tuners and want someone that is going to get the job done right the first time and is fair in pricing.

I'm so happy with this car it is truly amazing.*

Side note...
The car is acting weird to me. The AMF is constantly turning on and off and not only does the sound get but my MPG seems to be affected. I'm not buying this car for its MPG but I also don't want to waste it. I get 17MPG flat highway @ 65 mph.

AFM will be tuned out when you get a tune.

In the meantime, on the highway, put it in "M" mode, shift up, then back down, and AFM will be off until the next time you go back to D, or S, or turn the car off.


Thats a silly looking CAI, id go with a proven brand like: CAI, inc, Roto-Fab, ADM, Vararam
