Race gas and O2's/headers and stock K member Well they might not be problems because I think I might know what's up. I just like to get others' opinions cuz sometimes I'm wrong. I got my car out for the first time since my "break **** extravaganza." I had filled up with 110 at the track but didn't really burn hardly any fuel due to my mishap so I packed up and left. After bolting in my BMR ta relocation crossmember, the driver side of the exhaust was rubbing bad so I took it to the shop to be modified this morning. I unplugged the O2's since the driver header could not be bolted to the collector and it drove fine. After the fix, I plugged it all back up and on the way home my car started running like **** the further I went. Is this the race gas working on the O2's? If they're ruined, I'm staying open loop for sure.
Also, my old exhaust had the factory cross brace integrated into the pipes (I didn't ask the guy to do it when he made it, he just did it). I had today's muffler guy (different guy) just cut that cross brace out to make room for my d/s loop. Now it hangs a touch lower since there's no support and I have this vibration on the left side of the flloor pan by my feet. I think it's the header touching the K member. Vibration is only present at idle. I have a Profab on the way so that should fix that but I just wanted to see what yall thought.

It took about two weeks after I used leaded race fuel to burn out my o2's. The f'ed up part is, I didn't I put it in there untill it was too late. I didn't even think to look at the pump, I assumed it was unleaded to make it late model friendly. Woops!
