I did the same thing when i got my intakes....i was so anxious to get the car started with the intakes on, i forgot to plug in one of my MAF sensors. Threw a code, my friend cleared it and it was fine. Sooo, with the being said, check to make sure both your maf sensors are properly plugged in.The code can be cleared at any autozone.

Also, the car bogging down sounds more like a vacuum issue to me. The car will run with an MAF code, it just wont run normal during regular driving. Being that we have two maf sensors the car can run with one maf reading, it just wont run under load. My car ran fine with the MAF unplugged. I wouldnt have known if it wasnt for the code. Rough idle and bogging sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere. Ide double check all hoses in the area.

maf sensors - unplug em and reconnect carefully. make sure you didnt let any dirt or crap get in them. as far the battery reset, the g35 had to be left disconnect overnight, not 15 mins...
