Danny, CJ, when are we doing this race again to have it on video? We can set up a couple of cameras and film from different angles, with the rest of the guys' help. Pulled pork sandwich anyone?

Do a race between those two from a 40 roll, then a car with no headers at all. Just catback or stock.

Is there a way to get the O2 conditioners without having to buy the sikky accessory package for IIRC $275 to get the O2 conditioner, i assume it comes with those in that kit?

And IIRC, juanca got an M5

With that being said I never called you out. I just said you were thinking one sided.
Maybe "Calling Out" was a poor choice of words, but I figured with your post I needed to explain my thinking, which I attempted to do. Please accept my apology.

I think PPE sells the o2 conditioner for around $100.00.

I purchased my conditioner from sikky for $100.00. The PPE conditioner is the same price, but did not work for me.

LOL... as JKweezy said, I got an M5 Danny. When is the next meet? This is such a small world, this past Saturday I met the guy who purchased my last ISF, I can take him to the meet so he can learn more about the ISF.

I have my stock manifolds in a box in case someone wants to try cutting/gutting the cats.

I tried the 90 degree foulers and they didnt work...They cost like $70 for the pair, while the PPE conditioners were 130.

That being said Novel uses the ones with 'mini-cats' in them...

^^i was actually considering this. I figured the o2 extender may work but from what you posted, i guess not. I am also curious if the ecu would go into "limp" mode if it the cel came on due to cat efficiency.

My primary cats have been hallowed out and the secondary removed. this did cause a CEL and limp mode. i also got a check VCS light and lost 1st gear. using a scan tool i was getting CAT efficiency warnings on both banks. PPE device fixed this for me, no more errors, all back to normal.

before i got the PPE conditioner i had anti foulers which did not work at all.
