I have a 180. I would put the stock one back in and see if everything goes back to normal if so. I would then go get the 180. I've read about a few people having problems when they put the 160 in.

the problem is fixed i took out the 160 and put back my stock one and car ran perfect i don't know why my car didn't like the 160 maybe i'll try a 180 but i did like the sound my car made with the 160 sounded like i had cams [worship]
