Have the code scanned and get back to us as to what it is. Autozone will tell you for free. It will be P0234 or something to that nature. Write it down, then you can look it up, and we can diagnose the problem.

Actually there is an entire page that has been stickied around here that is overflowing with codes. I bet it is your O2's.

Cutout in that location shouldn't throw a code. Something else is going on - if it comes back get it scanned.

How do you like the sound? Can you give me a little review? I am installing mine soon, just ordered it. I also have the flowmaster and I am tired of it.

Sorry, I dont have any way to post sound clips
It does sound good here are some pros and cons I noticed
PROS
1.Noise
2.Seems to pull harder top end
3.If you dont like it, Put your cap back on until you run it
at the track
CONS
1.Back pressure sometimes makes a whisping or poping when let'n
off the gas(annoying)
2.Sometimes sounds like a tractor, muffler sounds cleaner
3.Drone,Drone,Drone

I just dont get if I install my cut-out after the axle, right before the muffler, how is it going to sound different than my mom's open borla? And her's sounds damn good.

I put mine in front of the axle, that might make a little difference, and the size and the radius of the bend on the cutout maybe might effect how the exhaust pulse flows threw the pipe and muffler. Im a novice,and im sure someone could
xplain better though

The code has not came back, there is a drone from 1200 to about 3000rpm above that it is not as bad. It is louder than my capped exhaust in the car.
If your looking for noise, It gets you there, I still think it sounds cleaner with it capped going threw my flowmaster. But, then performance is not there
