It normally sits by the fuse box. As you can see, it has scars from the battle of taking it out.



300 miles since the headers and no SES!!!



No longer silver colored

I got like 15 PMs of people asking about 02 sims and if I was throwing codes and if I extended my secondary 02 sensors etc etc etc. This is an easy way to answer.

Well the butt dyno will never be accurate and the change in sound also affects my impression so I'll relate the difference I can prove...

Before the headers, when launching on the street near my house, I could floor it in 1st after hooking up with no wheelspin then chirp hard into 2nd.

Now with headers, if I floor it in first after hooking up, it will start to spin above 5k rpms all the way until I shift to second. Second can spin a bit if I shift in really hard, and I've heard 3rd chirp 1 or 2 times.

Basically, I'm saying yes... I can tell/feel a power difference. Now I'm waiting on dyno for real proof of gains.

If everybody searched for everything before asking each other questions or posting, this would be a dead board with a bunch of 3 yr old threads.

I've been waiting over 4 years after my header install to throw a code. Still none yet, and I have all 4 O2 sensors before my cat.

yep I can't wait to tune, and my tires will light up in 1st now just like you are saying. I'd like to wait and do SSIM+reflash then tune, but I'll go ahead and tune it for now until I can get those things taken care of.
