    Long Tube Headers and Engine Light

    i blame stainless works for the problem , there design for the placement of the 02 sensor is wrong, there cats offer to much flow and nothing can get hot enough, for the sensors to turn on without throwing a light, i think kooks has the better set up with there green cats and shorter tube...

    Long Tube Headers and Engine Light

    i don't think i'm gonna go that route , but thx anyway, gotta be a better fix , just may bail on the headers and return too stock and be done, it's just to much of a hassle for the extra power. will try wrapping the header, to build up extra heat in the header, see if that works, drove home...
