Headers/ORY-pipe o2's
Headers/ORY-pipe o2's Hey guys, installing LT headers and off road y-pipe. On the headers they have a whole at the end or bottom of each one. Now i have 2 ORY-pipes. One set has no holes for the o2s and the other one has the 2 holes (one on one side and one on the other). Which ORY-pipe to use? They sent me the extenders and all. Going to get rid of the other ORY but not too sure which one i need to keep.. Any one know?

I am not to sure why your "OFF ROAD PIPE" would have any sensor holes in it. I say that b/c if you plug O2 sensors into it they will set off a code b/c there are no cats. Save yourself some trouble and use the ORY that does not have sensors holes. The extensions were probably for the front 2 O2 sensors anyway. You will need to buy simms or have the SES codes deleted running an ORY.
Yea see, i ordered like a set of LT'S headers and ory's finally i got the lts but i got 2 ory's. which one is the right one.the same company sent me the same twice but i got 2 pairs of ory's that are different... its not my mistake.. trying to figure out wich one to sell..

Keep the one with no holes, and sell the one with the holes.

ok these are the pics of waterbugs y-pipes that I took.
Both are layed on top of each other. You can see the black one has holes for the O2s i assume?
1) Why did they come that way?
2) Both seem to have the 3" diameter so they should both be Off Road Y-pipes right?
3) Whats the difference between the two? Why does one come with holes and the other one without them?
4) I have a 2002 TA and ill be getting a set of headers soon will the ones with the O2 holes be y-pipe that ill need?
help us out... Whats the deal here.

Just get simms and you should be good to go. Your 2.) question makes no sense. The diameter has nothing to do with the fact that it is off road. The lack of cats determines that. I hate to see people not doing research and buying a product that they have no idea about, trust me I have done this (bought HPPIII ), just do more research next time and these questions will already be answered.

Thank you very much for the response. Your post makes perfect sense. Since I was planning on getting a set of headers with an ORY-pipe (hence no cats) I guess I shouldnt buy the y-pipe from waterbug as those black ones are not ORY-pipes to begin with.
He will be using the ORY-pipe (the stainless steel one) for his car.
sucks for me as I would of got a great deal from waterbug
