if using test pipe with o2 hole allow me to use sp2 on my 97 max?
reading another thread i saw that you can get a test pipe with an o2 hole from budget wich made me wonder if this can solve the issue of using the sp2 cat back besides the lenght of exhaust i really like the sp2 exhaust but from what greddy wrote me a few days ago it wont be released for the 97-99 max anytime soon i if i keep waiting i will end up spending it i asked for any info on cattman or frankencar cb without luck im pretty sure i dont want obx megan or any other

The reason why you "can't" use the SP2 on a 97+ is because it's too short and the tip won't clear the rear bumper. It has an additional O2 hole; I have one and had to plug it with a bolt because my cat is where my downstream O2 goes.

i'm not saying your wrong cause i dont have the SP2 but i find it very strange that it has the hole for the 02 sensor. besides size, the main reason the SP2 was for 95-96 models or any catback made for 95-96 models is because the 02 sensor is found on the cat converter. 95-96 maxima's dont have an 02 sensor hole/bong on their catbacks, they are on the cat converter. 97+ however have tthem on the b-pipe. So if its meant for 95-96, i find it strange that it has the hole in the b-pipe....not to sayt his cant be easily worked out but from previous catbacks, they dont have this setup for 95-96 models.
I was a little confused as to why it was there too and was lucky I could find a bolt big enough to screw into it.

on a 97+ i dont see why it would trip since the cat doesnt have any electrics hooked up tot he rest of the car but i think i heard of ecu reading something funny because of missing cat...
