how do you know his MAF is in proper order? it's not possible to damage the MAF when moving from the OEM to stillen tubes?

OP questioned the possibility of his mods affecting timing. i know a properly installed/functioning stillen g3 intake is not going to cause timing problems. i only posited the possibility of something being loose and doing a simple check.
before he commits to the dealership taking his entire engine apart and be on the hook for about $1k in labor costs, maybe he should take 30min to simply check his intake?
