Here's a start.

AFM L76 lifter rattle when cold WTF?

[Mitch-VE6LTR]

Lol the idea of cylinders turning on and off it's just fail in my opinion.

I think you will find that most AFM owners on this site, actually have it switched off now

[ned]

yes mine will b when tune and exhaust

[OldDog]

Yup, I gotta say Mitch that on switching off the AFM i totally agree with you. I'm not doing anything like that until the warranty runs out though, and wouldn't have had it at all only the V8 auto comes with AFM in my model. I've been told that if you get just a good dyno tune done with the AFM switched off you'll get better fuel consumption than with AFM activated! I'll test that out after warranty.

I am with you old dog, I have seen it first hand. I have a mate with a Series 2. He is a bit cashed up and could not care less about warrenty. His auto SS gets around 10lt per 100 on the hwy. Same as the AFM, but it sounds 1000 times beter and goes real hard.
Maybe a sports exhaust will solve my noisy engine, as I wont be able to hear it.

I don't have the Afm hardware in my car anymore due to a cam change. But, when it was there I thought it was fine, no probs at all. A few months before the cam change I got it turned off and fuel consumption definitely did not improve. L77
