REDZMAN: PM me if you think this is a good idea. If you want to weld the bung, I have 110V power in my car. I can power a soldering iron and do the soldering for you at NOPI properly. I'll be bringing a 2 ton jack and 2 2 ton jackstands, tool kit, and upon your request, i'll bring a soldering iron and nescissary supplies to perform on-site electrical work. It's nothing to make a couple of joints and cover them up.
If not.....
DTN's ELECTRICAL WORK FOR RETARDS SCARED OF SHOCKING THEMSELVES! nana.gif
Chapter 1: wear rubber gloves.
Chapter 2: don't burn yourself retard
Chapter 3: yank on each connection
Chapter 4: Cover connections
hehee.. Seriously though, i could give you an in-depth class on how to solder safely, we've got 2 days and 2 nights at NOPI and i can only play so much XBOX.

Viper offered also, the only problem is I'm not going to have room to bring the headers I think. There's me, the wife, my son, and the dog, our clothes and such, all in the Tib.
I may be able to get it done before then.
I KNOW that. I'm not worried about gains at this second, it's about having the parts in for the CAR SHOW.
My exhaust was supposed to be here last week, but I haven't even seen Chris online.
Convienent eh?
I know. I said this in my first post. Option 3.
I'd rather waste the 30 bucks now and get it done, to have the part in, then not get it done at all.

second cat but the only problem would be for $600 you wouldn't really notice gains from the headers until you would have upgraded the cat and opened up the exhaust a little.

Just wait until you get your new aftermarket exhaust in, paying someone to put a bung in the stock exhaust after the second (now your first cat) would be silly if your going to end up replacing it very soon.

well, alright, but I was saying just install it and run with a CEL until you get there or twist the wires together or something.
We can take care of it on site.

that's one helluva drive REDZ... U sure 2 days is enough? I broke down in south dakota from montana to south carolina. All in all the trip took 2 days pretty much straight driving, but the timing belt cost me 3 days time.

I will you get a CEL if you don't solder and use female and male connectors? LOL. I don't see how unless you do not know how to put some male/female connectors on wires and leave them half expose.
Mine have been like that for 2 years, no problems.

More than enough time. We drove from ABQ to Charleston SC when we got back from Korea, straight through. Took 26 hours.
The drive to Atlanta is Mapquested at 21 hours, so it's probably actually about 19. 2 drivers. We may stop for the night too.

I know what you were saying. Others said it. The problem is, I JUST did another MAJOR install. I need to be able to see if I get a CEL enroute. BESIDES THE CONSTANT CEL FROM THE HEADER/o2 SENSOR DEAL.
For example. I got a CEL today. I wouldn't have known I had a second one if the first was there.

Bro, why would I install those on MY car? I've got the 700 dollar Maintec GT headers.

LOL Do you mean Why will I? I didn't say I would, but I could. Others have posted many times about how they got CEL's from extending sensor wires for that.

They probably didnt get the right guage, or the right wire. Connections were probably shit.
Also, yes you can get a CEL but do you have a CEL reader? If not, go buy a cheap one just to read the code. It will read all the codes you get. No matter if you get 1, 5 or 10 going there. Than you can eliminate the obvious no 2nd 02 sensor code and fight out anyproblems you do have besides that.
Return it after if you don't want it, or find someone that has one and is going to nopi.

I've got 2 CEL readers.
You should know that from the threads mang!
Unfortunately, I will be on the road, and trying to get readings while driving, no thanks.
I'm going to try to get a bung welded tomorrow or Wednesday, and get ABQElantra to come do the wires for me.
