Default Got the True dual set up!

Now just a few more questions about the install. the o2 bungs on the headers i hear everyone talk about tuning them out but the guy who i bought the system from said not too. so at a stand still there.
and got an xpipe with 2 magnaflow mufflers on it. what do you think this will help in the 1/4 mile. ran a 13.78 yesterday with the catback off running it open where the 2 stock pipes merge. hey for 325 bucks for hooker super comps x pipe and magnaflow mufflers i didn't think i could go wrong

No you want to keep the 2 sensors on the headers as they are the ones that control the a/f mixture. Guys tune out the rear o2 sensors after the cat, as they are only there to make sure the cat is working. And if you (like me) dont have cats you dont need them anymore.

Yes you will need o2 extensions. Buy them from one of the site sponsers. I believe the ws6store has them, due not try and extend them yourself. And i dont know exactly what you were trying to say about when you looked under your car? Whats the problem? What year is your car?

A 1996 will have four O2 sensors in stock form, two AFTER the catalytic converters and two prior. They should be there.

You will see a gain. How much I am unable to say because I am also in the process of converting from a stock system to long tubes and true duals.

yeah car runs 13.7's-13.8's and thats with stock manifolds and cats and the whole 9 yards. thinking it should help quite a bit with the true duals with x pipe dumped at the axial with the long tubes
