Long Tube Headers and Engine Light

[MTF]

For the Whipple Tunes and most every NA Raptors everyone is just using the plain spacers like the ones from Auto Zone.

You may have to data log with 5 Star, they may need to adjust.

When you get the Vibrant SS spacers figured out, please post back.

Good Luck!

I just used the auto zone spacers but with the 5* smog tune I dont even need the spacers and it worked first shot

I got a smog tune from 5* and added the spark plug spacers from auto zone. I was in a hurry to get this done before I left for Christmas so I could get the truck inspected while I was in Pittsburgh. The check engine light still came on. Bank 2 sensor 2 stuck lean. So I never got the inspection done. I now have some time to correct this issue before heading back to Pittsburgh next time.

I now have the Vibrant stainless steel O2 sensor spacers to install. My question is which flow insert did you guys use? They come with three different options for port sizes.

Hey Yukon,

I just had the same issues with pa emissions. I just purchased the recommended spacers from amazon. Got a new tune with the spacers set to on. I will load them both this week and report back once inspection/emissions is done.

Cool.
Yeah. My truck has been at the dealer with an electrical issue since getting back from snoball. Also my SCT 3 tuner got messed up and I had to send it back to be reformatted. I just got it back this weekend.

Once I get night Raptor back I plan on trying to get it so the light doesn't come on. I have the stainless steel O2 sensor spacers I plan on using.

FYI

Not sure if this will work for everyone. I bought the brand new pair of O2 spacers from Amazon that was recommended in this thread to be able to pass emissions. I installed them drove 3 miles and my mechanic took them off.

I had a new tune sent to me from my tuner with the "cats turned on." I then proceeded to drive about 400-500 miles (don't think this much is necessary). I am happy to say I have passed the emissions test in PA!

My mechanic told me that, due to having QUALITY high flowing cats (ARH) he didn't think I would have a problem once I got the proper tune with "cats on."

I am not saying this is going to work for everyone but it worked for me.

GOOD LUCK
