Default Last time hearing my catted exhaust!

Dropped my car off today at a buddies for my headers to be installed!! Goodbye manifolds, goodbye cats! Ill be getting the car back open headers. Haven't decided to do the y pipe, or duals yet. But I'm just happy to be gettIng my tsp headers on!!

P.s. locking header bolts are expensive!!

Way more hidden expenses then I planned. Probably gunna get the ory for the time being and swap my slp loud mouth resonator to a dynomax bullet. Then when i save a little more I can do true duals with two bullets.

Nope. Can't run it longer than at all without some if not total damage. Your car blows exhaust out but also sucks in large amounts of air each fire. Without at least a foot of pipe after the o2s the fresh air hits the o2s making he computer think its lean so it dumps fuel and causes damage.

That's odd, I drove my car around my town for a few minutes, then to my exhaust shop 20 miles away open headers and still have those same o2's to this day

You'll be fine driving it home. I drove mine around for a week on The stock o2's and they are still working.

AT least run them with the ORY. That's what I did but only like a mile. You might need earplugs once you accelerate, LOL.

It was just a word of advice, if money is short I don't want to see you out another 130-150 bucks for sensors.

Well drive it home with open headers. Rattled my brain. Sounds good under slighly faster acceleration, and idle, but normal cruising is unbearable. I still have a section of the stock y under there, like 8 inches away from the collector. I need to just get a y pipe and button it up. It also didn't throw a code yet. It's so damn loud, but boy is it pretty

Videos do no justice as to how loud they are. It's incredibly loud.
