The $11 o2 socket is a must for the install due to the shield around them.

My only complaint is there is a pinhole in one of the welds that's causing a tick noise. The welds are beautiful so I'm sure fixing it with a tack weld is going to look hideous, but it's no big deal.
any warning codes or check engine codes pop up?

I've only driven a couple hundred miles, but I haven't had any troubles yet.

It deleted 2 cats after the secondary o2 sensors. This might not pass inspection in some areas.

Although this isnt a GS, I did find a video on a is350 as I was also interested in this mod. I think I will have custom made pipes instead that will look similar to the invidia..


it will more or less sound exactly like that since we(gs350) obviously share the same motor as the is350.

Another video, but an awkward angle. At least there is some sound though..

Finally got the CEL. Any way around this issue or do I just clear it every so many hundred miles?

I have heard o2 sensor extensions can help.

Default Schmexus, AWD or RWD?

Was your car an AWD or RWD?

Also, was the CEL due to the midpipe and missing cats or something else?

Thanks.

It's RWD. I tried the normal straight o2 extensions and I still got the cel every other day. I've had the 90 degree extensions on for about a week now with no cel. Hopefully that does the trick.

I don't see why I'm even getting a cel considering the only thing that changed in front of the rear o2's is a slightly larger diameter pipe. The rear cats that were deleted are after the o2. Unless the higher flow is what was causing it?
