Well, some of you may know awhile back I was selling my truck. All that done, I bought what I wanted and installed it all except my bushings and ACt Clutch.

Here are a few teaser pics.




When I first installed those headers...my god what hell. lol. It fits now. But, I didn't throw a code for about 3 days. I kept throwing P0442 cat code. I bought one of the OBD scanners and kept clearing it. Well, after reading on a honda (I know I Know) forum, they said just buy the non-foulers and install the 2nd O2 in it and it shouldn't trip a code. Well, my scanner would light up a yellow LED for my emissions check and say pending code. It's been about 2-3 days since I did the non-fouler, and plugged in the scanner. No pending codes and a green LED. WHOOHOO. lol. catless and It thinks i'm not. I know, smoky smelly tib. I'll have videos I took on youtube within the next few hours. Maybe tomorrow. Will post back.

Comments????

And here are the videos

I might be wrong, but it apears in the first pic as though your iat sensor is hanging in the engine bay rather than in the grommet on the short ram

Well. The tach was free. I think it's nice, not too HUGE but not itty bitty. And the sensor, I just checked. My dumbass forgot to put it back... owned.gif

I know I still got the yellow ground wires.lol
But what do you think overall? I think it's pretty nice. Not ricey on the outside. But I'm pretty happy the non-foulers fixed my O2 problem. I still got some tinkering to do, the catback likes to tap the rear subframe and make nosie, I'm working on either welding it up ot tightening the exhaust strap thats on it. Suggestions?

Doesnt sounds to bad for what it is I dont think. No cat sounds way better boosted.

Not bad, overall.

agreed on boosted + no cat.. you can also feel a power difference in a boosted car without a cat.

both my tib and my srt-4 had/have no cat with boost. both sound awesome.

Gotta agree, 2 tachs = ricerriffic. No cat at ALL = bad for the environment. Yes, I do care.

Seems like theres alot of hate man... srry.

To me it sounds ok.. And for you runnin no cat, try and thro a flame that would be cool... I think it helps if your boosted tho.

As for you tac, not my taste. srry

I give 7 out of 10 for exhaust
and no points for the tac lol. cool.gif

Well, I don't mind bad comments. I agree there really was no purpose for it, just got bored one night. Anything I do, as Ricerriffic as that tach is, I at least try to make it look good and well put. It is easier to glance at then the factory one. lol. But hey, I'm just glad I got what I wanted to get done. My next few steps are rims and tires and suspension.

And just a quick question, what do you think would look better?
Spoilerless or the shark wing...
