Unless the check engine light on the dash is on, there are no codes to check. If it is on however, most local auto parts stores will pull the codes for free.

I'd put the stock airbox back on and see if the problem still presents itself. If the mb box somehow came off the rubbers slightly that could cAuse the rough running due to a post maf air leak.
Well, I went back out and checked the seating of the air box, and it was "high" in the back and slightly off the intake. Must have pushed the front down slightly when attaching the snorkels. Shoved it down, and behold! No more problem! I LOVE THIS FORUM! THANKS MEN! Perhaps I should stay out of the engine bay...
