Installed SP2

Just installed my Greddy SP2 yesterday! It's sounds tight, but its gonna take some getting used to. Its obviously louder and I'm not 100% happy with that big *** muffler tip. But, overall....Its THE SH**. Anyway, installation was a Biitch since my factory exhaust system turned out to be all rusted. The 2 nuts at the cat broke and I had to drive the car to a local shop to complete the installation. They got me for big time $$$. So now that's done, I will be installing my Iluminas and Maxspeed springs today. Hope everything goes smoothly with that.

It depends on the year If you use the O2 sensor hole on the B-pipe or on the Cat... 97-99 use the bung hole on the cat while the earlier years before 97 use the bung hole on the B-pipe...

Congrads on your new SP2... I got the jokes about the coffee can tip but that muffler sounds soooo sweeet.... I love mine

hello, i think everyone should know that by now. do u understand that even in the 95-96 GREDDY theres an O2 bung in the B pipe! im just saying i was trying to figure out if the 95-96 greddy has the same or differnt size o2 bung on the b pipe sense they both have it.

I think you guys got that reversed, my 96 has it on the cat and as far as i know so do all 95-96's, i imagine the reasons for greddy not fiting a 97+ is much like the apexi, 0n a 97 the tip will sit under the rear bumper and posibly burn it and there isnt a bung on the b pipe for an o2, i could be wrong though

omfg you guys are retarted, the 95-96 stock has the O2 in the cat but the 95-96 greddy has a hole for it in the b pipe. the 97-99 has the O2 in the b pipe in both stock and greddy. theres two differnt greddys! the 95-96 fits better on the 97-99 reason being greddy makes the tips always like 2 in to long so u can see that it says greddy. if you put the 95 on a 97+ its exacly even with the bumper its just the fact if the O2 sensor bung in the 95-96 one is to big for the 97-99 sensor or not! everything fits its just the hole!!! once again BOTH greddy systems have a hole for an O2 sensor in the B PIPE! get it right

calm down bro...go have a smoke or somthin

you can see where there would be confusion seeing as how the greddy is obviously not a direct fit for a 95-96...thanks for clarifying it anyway

guess i wont be doing a greddy to replace the apexi, im not throwing away a 200 dollar aftermarket cat

if you are cali spec, you dont need to do anything except close the extra o2 sensor hole on the b pipe. Thats what i had to do on my 99

what r u talking about fedral or cali spec makes absolutly NO differnce in the catback!! theres no such extra O2 hole unless your talking about keeping the little 5in. pipe that holds the stock O2 sensor on and bolting the greddy up to that thereby making 2 holes.??

so the only problem with 97-99 is that there will be a HOLE to be filled correct?

ok heres how it works...you can use the greddy made for the 97-99 with absolutly no modifacation but it will stick out of the back bumper maybe 1 1/2-2" thats why most get the 95-96 one cause its shorter. the 95-96 greddy is shorter due to the back bumper being shorter on the 95-96, it also has an O2 hole in the B pipe for w/e reason so if you have the 95 or 96 you can either plug it or get another cat without the O2 hole and use the one in the b pipe the choise is up to you. what im saying is that the O2 hole thats origonally in the cat on the 95-96 is bigger than the rear on the 97-99 hence if you used the 95 one on a 97-99 youd have to take it to a shop to get the correct bung welded in. or just buy the sp2 made for us and then your fine

BORQUA79 is that a 95-96 sp2 on your car? if so can anyone post pics of a 97-99 sp2 on a 97-99? I think i'd rather deal with the stick-out more than having a shop weld on the correct bunge =)

I have a 95-96 Greddy SP (don't think there was a design change from the SP to SP2 except for the full stainless steel) installed on my 98 with NO problems.

Personally Ive never heard of a 97-99 Sp2??? I have the only one they offered at the time the pre-97 SP2. They said that It wouldnt fit on my 98 but they are wrong It looks fine to me...

The difference is that on a 97-99 the tip is more flush like mine... On a 96 the tip would stick out more. On my car they plugged the O2 hole on my B-pipe and used the hole on my Hi-Flow cat for the O2 sensor.... All they did was use a bolt to plug it. On a 96 Its a direct fit and you use the hole on the B-pipe like your original 96 O2 sensor...

Remember: 97-99
1) Plug hole on SP2 B-pipe with bolt
2) The muffler is flush with rear bumper

96 and below
1) Use SP2 B-pipe hole for O2 Sensor (like they tell you because this was made for you 96 and below owners)
2) Muffler sticks out a little more

ok as stated above with my confusion about this...95-96 OEM exhaust does not have an o2 sensor in the b pipe, it is in the cat, 95-96 will be the ones that need to have the hole plugged. 97-99 OEM exhaust has o2 sensor in b pipe, the O2 sensor on the 97-99 may or may not fit the hole on the greddy b pipe

Don't forget the early 97's use the B pipe bung, NOT the cat bung. Like my 97 which rolled out of the factory in march.

i have some but im not gonna waste my server space with them basically its very deep and bassy but not loud at all if you have an intake the intake will overpower the exhaust for sure. its just alot deeper and little louder than stock nothing like with a y pipe and absolutly no rasp just bassy note. sounds good like that but no power without the y i say

Ok..ok.. Just to clear up the mistakes I've said before. I finally looked under the car and this is what I've found...

My O2 Sensor on my 98 SE is in the B-pipe bung supplied by Greddy (SP2 95-96) I have a Hi Flow Cat that has the O2 sensor bung in it that Ive plugged... Due to the angle the O2 sensor sticks out, I broke the sensor. The OE bung pointed up and away from the hazards of a lowered ride. This should have been incorperated in the new design... I have to call Greddy about that.

So Heres my set up be it on crack or not

Heres the pics to prove it:
