I haven't had the top down for a while. I should try it. But the smell is there. The day I installed them, the smell was pretty bad. It's ok now. You can still smell it but not as bad as before.

Hmm, I was hoping for something electrical opposed to mechanical. I don't think that would work for me. I was going to get this one but they are currently under backlog, not sure when they'll be accepting orders again. http://www.o2simulator.com/index.php...products_id=11

Yea, I tried to buy last month with no success. I hope they make more soon too. Mine is a little different than yours since I need to replace the one before my cat, bank 2 sensor 1. I was thinking of just buying a new sensor and trying it, maybe something happened to it during my install.

I found this : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250854592646

What's your take on this one? looks very similar from the one on megan and it's universal. But's it a little more expensive.

lyyca, do you remember what CEL code you had before you put on the Megan O2 Fix? I'm running into a CEL code "Cat Efficiency", I'm wondering if thats the same code you had that the Megan fixed

I ordered the Megan exhaust as well. Are you talking about the o2 gasket? This is all I see on autozone.com.

Default what is with the water?

I watched your video and was surprised by the amount of water coming out when you hit the accelerator. Any idea why? It sounds and looks great!

Did your CEL come on when you did the test pipes? Will it pass inspection??? We do smog in Texas.

What is the deal with all that water?
I have the Injen and full Megan exhaust with test pipes and O2 sims. Loving it. Sounds good, not too loud, noticeable performance improvement too. Is not offensive to me with the top down, both noise nor smell. Been on for several months now, no CEL's. Could not be happier with the additions.

^^ the smell isn't bad at all imo. When I had the top down, you can barely smell it. Then again, I live in California so our air is already bad enough. Perhaps I'm just use to our air pollution haha!
