Pawlwawl06 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 ok hmm sounds fair and all, but if i have to worry about a CEL i would just get the Borlas, plus I dont think anyone wants to extend any O2 sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def do not want to deal with CEL's and correct on your point if you have to deal with CEL's you could go the Replica route I have. I also am going the modded LGT route and this route too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you don't want CEL's, do this: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m194/star91281/downsized_0813091806.jpg this is the second cat. not monitored as stock. I also made my own O2 extension, to reach but you can buy them online. not too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shtbxr22 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 make sure to put a spacer/non-fouler for the O2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 make sure to put a spacer/non-fouler for the O2. Another way around the CEL is to use a ceramic catalyst Converter and place it as close to the primaries as possible. The key is to get the cat hot and keep it hot as early as possible. That's why the RS style headers on 2006 and newer legacies throw that CEL because the O2 bank in the ECU is calibrated for the higher heat assoc with it being so close to the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 side note: couldn't wait for the mufflers, so I got two new XO2 cans. enjoy!

GEE-OTTO Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 I will say that the stock blimp aka resonator is very good at its job with those cans you should be able to hear it a lot more. BUT if that is how you like then you have the perfect setup. Speaking of I scored a Magna FLow 24 Resonator for $33 shipped off eBay, and Two Magna Flow mufflers im gonna chop out that blimp for the magnaflow and see how that sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must confess I ordered a Borla header along with my MagnaFlow parts for my exhaust. So basically I will be able to swap out the borla for the new design header when that gets made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 huh? lol i dont understand what are you trying to say We were shooting for 10 but if we do not get that many people we should move forward with the 6 people we have the cost would be slightly higher but ata least the project could go forward if not it will be tabled until interest pick up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yeah I think with the dwindled response it is a tabled idea at this point for the masses anyway but you never know who will come asking about a header one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
