I'm happy because the car feels amazing, but dissappointed with the cel. I stopped by merchants and my guy looked at it, and he suspected if it is the O2 sensors, they may be seized, and the entire y pipe may need to be replaced. To look on the bright side if I get a new y pipe (say a megan y pipe on amazon) would there be a performance gain??

How many miles does your car have? Have you thought of getting new O2 sensors?

LexBrett

119k miles, probably it's time I guess.. Just upset because they were fine before the header install. I guess the new higher airflow could have tripped them. Worse is they are seized to the y pipe..

Reset the code and disconnected battery and code Saturday hasn't returned! Fingers crossed!

Interesting. Please post your before and after dynos.

Keep in mind, even if your butt dyno indicates you're making 400 HP, I'll still beat your 0-60 time. ;-)

LexBrett

I don't have a baseline dyno test, so unfortunately I cannot estimate precise gains. However my butt dyno does indicate a nice power gain. I still cannot get a good 0-60 run, being that I am testing my car on public roads, lol,

That is some funny stuff!!! I need to borrow that link! This will be a birthday present for my son ;-)

This morning I was driving to work when I heard a loud crank/crashing sound coming from the header area in my car. I was going over a smooth surface, going about 25mph, and going straight. Then the check engine light came on again with a P0420. I'm calling the shop the installed the headers now. Damn, need a pep talk, if I tried to talk to my woman she would just laugh and say it's all my fault because I messed with my car so much

Hang in there Lex...its man vs. machine...right... i have read alot of your posts... this is simply another challenge to overcome...hu ra... keep in touch with your forum..we understand ...you are not alone... WW

Thanks buddy. I just got back from the shop. The owner said the code was probably due to the higher airflow . He said he would install spacers- free of charge. If that doesn't work he will replace o2 sensors at cost. The strange sound he couldn't diagnose, but after reading a lot of posts I think the sound may be due to the moog end links I had installed. Maybe I will go back to OEM?

Funny thing happened on the way home. I was completely crushing it on the highway, and when I was full throttle going about 80mph I saw a giant bloom of smoke coming out of my exhaust. The hood of my car was also smoking.

Them when I got home I saw transmission fluid leaking out rapidly. I quickly got my tools and put my car up on a ramp. After a few minutes of looking around I think I found the source of the ATF. The dipstick. Then I remembered that an over filled transmission could cause fluid to come out of the dipstick...

I can't remember what links I used in front. I know they were from a front gs300. no problems at all.

It's been a couple of weeks. How's it going with the exhaust?
