im nt 100% but pretty much any change in the afr and the cat starts to fail. Thats partially the reason the trd reflash for the s/c has such a non f/i friendly afr. Its trying to keep it so the cat doesnt break apart.

You also wont be very effecient with the stck cat and no2. Fairly large no2 gains can be had with just running the right plugs and a freeflowing exhaust.

well i had given up hope on this post but THANKS.
I'm actually running a I/Alpaha Header/ full 2.5 exhaust but i was worried fooling the second O2 with the antifouler mod and running N2O would be asking for trouble.
I'v come to the realization that the 2nd O2 sensor does no more than monitor the main(header) cat's efficiency and its existence while the 1st wide band O2 deals with the majority
of the AFR's in conjuction with the MAF sensor
I can't say i like my header too much because of it's highflow rasp nor my Tsudo cat back because of its shoddy quality but if it helps my (soon to be)N2O kit perform better than i'll deal with it...gotta get a header blanket thought LOL.

hey thanks for understanding the whole second 02 thing, ive been getting tired of trying to explain that to everyone.
hey did the anti fouler work for you? it doesnt seem to work for everyone for some reason. As far as header wraps they usualy void most header warrantys but i like them none the less. Try summitracing.com t find what your looking for.

well the Anti fouler mod has worked for the Instant CEL ,but i heard it can take up to 1K to 3K to know if it will work for good. I'm at about 500 miles on it.

I was supposed to jet-hot coat the header but i'm much to impatient (and cheap) lol.
I'm not gonna do the wrap but the "blanket" instead, its pretty much the same thing but can be clipped on or off and its not so much to benefit the header as it is to "shield" the rest of the engine bay from the heat.
the header heats up as it is, can you imagine it with the N2O blasting its way out. yeah summit has them too.
thanks!
