Header true dual question? I installed some longtube headers and true duals cut off just before the rearend. I have the front 2 o2 sensors in but theres no spot for the back o2's. My question is if I get o2 sims will i feel more power? Right now it has less power then it did before. Im getting my cam delivered monday, should I just wait to get the tune and forget the o2's or do i need them also.

I thought if you didnt have the rear o2's in place the on board computer would make the car run in a closed loop cause its not getting a signal. Its also running extremy rich like the comp is overcompensating for the rear o2's not being there, so it wont burn the motor up. Am I mistaken? I know its losing power i can feel the difference, It had more power with my stock center mount exhaust

from what I experienced getting mine inspected. I don't have cats and I passed the test simply because I had the codes deleted from the computer. If the codes aren't there to be thrown in the first place, then no harm or failure.
