I only have 66k on the car so they should be ok

Oh your gonna break them lol plan on buying new bolts from either the parts store or hardware store.

Haha ok ill pick some up. I'm also worried about getting my o2 out. I'm just gonna be easy and patient with that. I don't have the money to replace that yet lol

Crescent wrench or rent a o2 socket should do the trick. A little bit of heat won't hurt either obviously don't heat up the wiring.

165k miles on mine and nothing broke.

EDIT: Well there was probably 145k when the DP went in.

Lol

I know you have the fouler. I'm guessing your car passes a visual inspection. Because I asked my friend who is inspection certified and he said if they see it they will fail the car. I know how to make one now.

Or just get a tuned PCM and have the code deleted forever!

The one I have is built in. I have passed visual with no problems by a shop that actually checks too.

Ill still have a cat. I'm just worried about the car throwing the code saying that the high flow cat isn't doing it's job. I'm saving the PCM for last cause I'm gonna get an overkill and when I'm done buying the mods for the motor I want is when ill order the overkill

A retune with his is around $100 or so just good for thought if it ever came down to that. A lot of times it depends on where you go different places will be give you a harder or less time.

Guess well see when it goes on and what happens and stuff

I have done all of the tricks, first was a high flow cat, non fouler fixed that. Then it was no cat, zzp o2 emulator fixed that. Haven't had an issue since then. Running headers e85 rockers... oh just read my sig.....

Well I'm gonna make a non fouler and if it doesn't pass I just swap down pipes. Back to stock get it inspected and swap it back out.

Some one said something about flipping a suspension piece so the down pipe doesn't hit? I can't remeber what it was

that would be flipping the sway bar, but a dp shouldn't hit. its some brands of headers that hit it sometimes.

Oh ok sounds good. Thank you all for your help

I'd swap it just in case. I've seen many of them hitting with just a dp.

Mine doesn't hit and I have a 3" DP

mine doesnt hit either i have a 3 in dp
