Surging can be caused by many many things. Vac leaks can be created when you work on your car. **** happens.Quote:

Umm if you're installing a cat with these headers it'll have to be somewhat custom.
They dont easily accommodate a cat.
Had the same issue with my pacesetters, had to push the catback further back.
These have a cat delete pipe that is about 18" long or so. you can clamp a 3" inlet out let cat in there.
Quick update:
I used the carb cleaner and could not find a leak. I loosened and tightened again all the plug, still got the surging issue.
I also got the defouler-o2 sensor trick. I'm currently waiting for my PCM to reset..
I guess I'm just gonna have to take it to mechanic..
u can try some copper rtv around the EGR/header joint... i deleted mine for that reason... really easy to do. never noticed a difference in gas mileage.
i tried to loosen the bolts but had no nut buster, it was dark and I honestly was exhausted. I have school all week, so hopefully this weekend I'll get to it. I just need to find something to seal the holes. Did you just remove it partially from the header, or completely? Not trying to make you slave but if you have any pics of how it looks I'd really appreciate it..:th_thumbsup-wink:Quote:

I also did the "O2 defouler" trick.. worked like a charm.. no more check engine code.. going on 50miles.. thanks again to all for your help..
Did this cuz I dont have a cat. Used 2 18 mm non-foulers.Quote:

NTK sensor might help a little, they're a bit smaller than most.
That finally did it for me but I was getting repeat P0301, P0303 and P0306. I just said ****it and replaced all three coils ($12.99 each) worked like a charm. Nice!Quote:

If you get irritated easily I would suggest just plan on an EGR delete and save yourself some frustration
Looks decent, can get it to fit good, and it works. Can't complain.
