Slp Help I bought a car that came with this kit http://www.coloradospeed.com/index.p...oducts_id=2540 mine actually has these older style headers which would be these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SLE-30053/ Now my question is is this whole kit an off road kit i see the car still has the air pipes and cats and oxygen sensore do off road kits delete the oxygen sensors? I ask because the car is throwin a code and here it is P0161 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2). Im wondering now it has an option on the diablosport to delete the oxygen sensors if i was to do that would it have any effect on the car for example would it run rich or lose power? Whats the powerband on these headers? The car is Auto. It feels slow and sluggish on take off but picks up mid rpm but still feels slower then my old car I owned a 6 spd f body same year all stock except for a gmmg catback and slp cold air intake and it felt quicker on take off and throughtout the whole rpm range. Could this be do to just the oxygen sensor? Just trying to learn a little bit about what i have. The code was thrown a few days after i installed E3 plugs i dont no if that would help diagnose the situation. Thanks.

On another note for the OP I have had this code since I bought the car and from what I have read, that code is specifically for the O2 heater and should have no problems with regular O2 function (which throws a separate code). It could possibly cause air fuel issues when cold but once it heats up to operating temps I dont believe it is really a factor. But as far as normal function of the O2 causing driveability issues, yea that can cause problems but the measurements causing air fuel to fluctuate are normally the O2's before the cats.

This has been heavily debated and it is generally acceptable to drive in the rain with no problems. But in the rare event that your engine hydrolocks its all on you. I had the SLP CAI on my old camaro and never had a problem with driving in the rain, but you have to be more cautious driving through puddles especially if you are lowered. If you want to be extra cautious they make a block off plate to put on in the rain but that is rarely practical for a daily driver especially if its parked in the rain. What would be really cool is if you could rig up a lever under the dash that can mechanically pull the plate over the opening or an electronic switch.
