Default 2005 Monte Carlo Supercharged stalling

Hey, I recently installed a new 3" inch exhaust system with downpipe and a fenderwell cold air intake. After the upgrades I find my car randomly stalling out and starting back up after some time. I'm thinking the mods blew the MAF sensor but there's no check engine light... any insight to my problem?

Could be the MAF, get some MAF cleaner and try cleaning it. When you're having issues, unplug the MAF and see if the problem goes away. If that's the case then you'd probably need a replacement.

Hey.. thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I'm thinkin I'll just replace the whole sensor and call it a day. Just for the fact it's going on 11yrs old.
But I definitely feel it's a airflow issue as oppsosed to a spark, so hopefully that works.
The only issue is, she still runs strong and won't cut off again to diagnose. So I guess it's goin to be a waitin game once it's replaced...

If the maintenance is up to date (plugs, wires, filters, etc), then it probably is the MAF having issues. Very common failure point with no codes.

Appreciate it Monte family... I just changed the MAF... so lets see if I'll be back on the side, or middle of the road today.
