109993, Update on the headers

They were easy to install and with a little bit of pulling on the cat the downpipe will fit. They look nice too.

Cool, thanks for remembering to update, I was wondering how that went for you. How does it sound? Noticable? Louder? Deeper?

Right now the CEL is on and its just the O2 sensor because of the added flow. So if anyone knows what to do for this tell me plz.:9

What do you mean added flow? The Oxygen sensor will indicate an open, short, or high/low voltage readings but does not tell the ECU that there is more exhaust flow. I assume you are referring to a more free flowing exhaust but that is not a MIL code.

Your sensor is probably DEAD. usually the CEL only comes on when its totally dead. just do some searching on the forums or even hit up the chat section too.

Why would you need to tighten up the sensor? It should already be if you installed it correctly the first time. If you did not thread it all the way in, then why the hell not?

Chances are you have a shitty sensor. What you should do is pull the code and find out what the CEL is on for. That is the whole reason behind codes bro - to save yourself this shade tree mechanic shit and guess what is happening.
