Even so, some problems can be common, car to car. On that note, I'd be looking to make sure that you didn't pinch any wires, or get something too close to a header tube, that it melted through, like an 02 sensor wire. Obviously, the MAF is pretty far from the exhaust system, so you shouldn't have created any problems in the intake tract, but wiring harnesses run all over the engine compartment.

Did you have to remove the air intake tract, and/or the MAF to do the install? If so, did you remember to hook it back up?
