Default Sikky headers micro processor, where and how do I hook it up!!

I'm going to install my used set up of Meisterschaft exhaust and Sikky headers this weekend. I looked up the PDF installation file from Sikky and I couldn't find the instruction on where and what wires to tap the micro processor to. Thank you for the help guys!!

Just use your hopes and dreams to wire them! Hopes and dreams always work!

Also, I just watched a truck get airborne as it was trying to speed past me.

What is a "microprocessor" needed for when changing headers?! Take the O2 sensors out, replace the headers, put the O2 sensors back in. WTF?

^^^^Not that easy. The stock manifolds contain catalytic converters. With those primary cats removed, you would throw a CEL if you did as you suggest. A device, neither electronic or hardware based, is needed to fool the secondary o2 sensors into believing the cats are still there.

Ah, thanks. I keep forgetting IS-F "headers" are mostly primary cat removal devices that look cool! Lol.

Is the Sikky micro processor Sikky’ version of the more simplified PPE O2 extensors/conditioners? As I don’t see PPE providing a micro processor in headers purchases.

^^^^PPE has changed from an electronic solution to manage CEL warnings to a more elegant mechanical solution that works better than the earlier supplied electronic version.
