Ok. I'm going to see about getting the whole exhaust done when I install it. If I do. I gotta save up my money. Although, the stock exhaust isn't that bad. I just want a good flowing header, and good flowing exhaust. The muffler I have on it now is pretty quiet, my CAI makes more noise. I want it to be a tad louder...I figure headers , magnaflow inline muffler and OBX rice can. Youtube video shows a RD2 with that setup and it sounds good.

Maybe I should just get a bolt on CatBack. The stock manifold seems to flow pretty good.. I mean my car feels fast haha. Will headers really make that big of a difference?

I spliced the primary O2 wiring back towards the firewall, and dropped it down the back side of the engine. I had an exhaust shop drill and weld in a bung and plugged my sensor in. Im still running stock exhaust so my secondary is the stock location. It runs perfect and no CEL so I have never wondered if anyone else would have trouble with a cat efficiency. I just thought all tibs wouldn't throw a code.

I found this O2 extender after searching through some posts.

It looks like it would be a direct fit. 25$ aint too bad either. I think I'm gonna get a good header, relocate the O2 after getting a bung welded in, then maybe remove resonator. I doubt i remove that though.

That's weird Alton, I'm pretty sure it shouldn't work like that.

I have one of these, you are going to have to do some modification to it (I.E. sanding) to make them compatible with a tib. Just to let you know. Mine did not work. I had a friend at work test it for resistance and continuity and it was fine but when on the car it would not cooperate. I would like to get a second opinion as hopefully i have a dud?

Untill I get my O2 sensors figured out, I think i'm going to get a bolt on catback.
I'm leaning on this one. Is it any good? I don't mind the rice can sound, so long as it wont be so loud as to shatter glass haha.
