Well as you all know when the stock intake is modified (lower combs removed) it idles high on cold starts. Well this wasnt really that big of a deal when it wasnt so cold out, but now that its a bit colder its really annoying. On the really cold mornings it idles up at 3K rpm's. The fact that I work at 6am every morning doesnt help how annoying it is. I'm sure I wake all of my neighbors up daily with the combo of a 3" turbo back exhaust and a 3k idle. So......... my questions are, on how to fix this. Does the GM maf fix this problem? I sold the second gen so now im ready to start pumping some more cash into this beast. I wasnt planning on starting there, but if its gonna help I may just have to. Also, I know this has probably been asked a thousand times, but is there a quieter solution to a fairly free flowing exhaust? I can't stand the sound of this thing. I'm hadly on it enough to spool up the turbos which is really the only time a 40-bangar sounds good IMHO, but its still horribly loud. Any suggestions on fairly quiet mufflers? Thanks guys!

try turning down the set idel screw. it's on top of the throttlebody. turn it clockwise till the idel goes down. DSM's from the factory idel at 750 - 900rpm. mine is set at about 1K
