Intake PROBLEMS
hey i took the stock air box out of the car and i put a large filter onto it instead of the stock on and i will say it sounds amazing with the aftermarket one but when i turned it on i lost like a significant amount of power and it stalled and sputtered like crazy i had to put the stock box back in and the problem was fixed..... any thoughts it feels like some vacuum problem..... what u think?????

You cant just put a big *** filter there and expect it to work.

Some advice: Unless you know the in's and out's about the right volume and flow rate for the size of our motor at the right RPM, l'd suggest buying an off the shelf model. Do a search and you'll find plenty of reviews by the guys on here.
e.g: Injen
all your knowledge yet you fail...
sorry.
seems like you know little. but are good at grammar.. good job..

And can you correct me where l went wrong, rather then just saying fail? That just comes across as obnoxious.

I'm going to be nice and suggest a solution that "might" work.
There are these screens before the MAF. Those screens are to straighten out airflow so that the MAF can read the air correctly. Without those screens, you're going to get a weird idle problem like what you mentioned back in your original post.
Try putting in one of those screens that's in the stock intake infront of the MAF, that should help.
