I learned one good thing in high skool...how to do a really smokey burn out,till some old hag teacher thought there was a fire!!!! anyways we see a trend of removing o2's from stock manifolds and they will only last about 1000 miles...at any rate if you went to headers spend the cheese and replace o2's after all they are the only after the fact sensor that our pcm's communicate with

Don't forget the rear o2's have nothing to do with milage or performance, they only monitor the cats. Just trying to keep ya from wasting money

plugs, wires, air and fuel filter always help but I wouldn't go spending money on every part untill you can get it scanned. Find a tuner in the area who can scan it and point you in the right direction before you start to guess.
