Descreened MAF today got some ?'s

Alright today i changed my oil and desreened the maf. Now my oil pressure is pretty high i mean like just puttin around its like at 60 and now i have some water leaking out of my muffler very small hole, but there is water comin out. Would the maf cause that i made sure not to damage anything. I know prolly just a dumb ? but just wondering. Also I need a catback whats a good one??

Descreening the MAF doesnt do anything. I had mine descreened and now i have a new maf and there is no difference.

No the MAF would not impact muffler or oil pressure.

Lots of good catbacks out there - depands on your budget and the level of noise your looking for - I'm very happy with my Borla.

Putting in fresh oil will raise the pressure.It flows better ,especially when cold.The water coming from your muffler is normal.Condensation from the difference in temperatures.So your car is fine.Enjoy!

What viscosity oil did you use? Did you follow the manual and use 5W-30 or 10W-30?

and now i have some water leaking out of my muffler very small hole, but there is water comin out.
When you burn gasoline, you get two main products in the exhaust.... carbon dioxide and water. When the exhaust system is cold, the water condenses and will leak out the weep hole that is included in many mufflers specifically for that purpose.

For every gallon of gas you burn, the cat is supposed to spit out a gallon of water.

Newer and colder oil should raise the pressure a bit over before, if you went thicker than before then it would likewise raise pressure more. If it is highly abnormal pressure, the filter could be dead.
