Group buy on this?????? lol worth a try

Is there an O2 sensor that would require a delete on any of the cars after the second cat so the system won't throw a CEL?

 

[rdss]

No there is not a sensor after the second cat. That's going to be my reasoning on leaving the test pipe on the car when going in for serivce. I'm going to tell them a failed cat can cause problems and with out a sensor the ECM will never know its failed until its bad enough that I can feel the difference so I solved the problem....

Thanks for the info. I'll have to see if a local shop will trade me an exhausted system in exchange for a cat...

Edited because I'm a dumbass lol.

Kind of a random question, but do you think there would be enough room to weld an exhaust cutout onto the downpipe?

Thanks.

Either onto it or right after ... This one is something to look at because space is kinda limited there http://www.badlanzhpe.com/po.php?cPath=45&osCsid=c798d3142b501244587820b05d21028b

Good find Stella.

When I was thinking of installing one, that looked like the only area I could because I need a resonator and there wasn't enough room to install one between the resonator and the muffler.

anyone running the downpipe yet?

Plenty of room. It shouldn't be much bigger than the factory cat. Getting a tube to the ground might be a little tight though.

The problem i was runnin into is most cutouts require that like 10-14 inch y pipe piece to be installed and the only place that type of cutout would work is after the cats and resonator so i think the "low profile" one should work nicely but i have reservations about cutting into the ZZP downpipe to install this into it.. I may have to go just after

This is the problem for me right now.
I had to chop off my resonator to get my BadlanzHPE cutout welded in there. I've had it on there for a few months now, but I've been getting a little paranoid lately. Should I want to return to stock, it would be easier if I had my cutout on the downpipe. That way, I could just remove the aftermarket Downpipe and install the stock one rather than go to an exhaust shop and cut up and weld my exhaust again... That, and I scrape on big speedbumps with the cutout hanging where it is right now... :/ (Lowered ~1.2" on B&G Springs)
And of course, there's the fact that more power would be gained with having it before the cats rather than after...

:banana:question here... So I understand that the O2 sensors are able to be tuned out so you can run this catless downpipe, but do tuners go against this where emissions is required? Reason I ask is my inspections are not visual so if they plug into the OBDII and everything says its clean then the stickers get slapped on and out the door I go...

This will determine wether I go catless or not :banana:

Any new car has no smog for 6 years well atleast here in ca

So its pretty easy to bolt it back on

I'll have to checkup on it, but pretty sure it's still required here in PA regardless of a new vehicle, which is lame because California is so much more strict with emissions...
