Well it is a processor and you will have to connect by splice of (1) wire. It takes 2 seconds. 2 seconds and no more problems ever. :D

PS...The question remained unanswered not for that long, sorry I am not on here 24/7.

I was also under the impression that, as things "break-in" the sound will change. Is this the case here, or a is it a matter of mistaken information?

That is what I thought. I heard that with any header that has a cat, as the cat "breaks in" the sound cahnges considerably. I think I rememebr a few thousand miles or so for it to finish I believe.

That is the case with the Megan header that has a Precat built in it ,is not the case with the standard header such as alphawerks and DC.

I put the stock exhaust back on today axlebacks sound terrible with the header. The stock unit sounds just a bit louder but the power is still very noticeable even with the auto tranny. I did the antifouler trick but the cel still hasent gone away. A full exhaust and intake should fix that and at least give me 20hp.

I used the smart sim processor they have and it took literally like 5 minutes to install...easy. I have not had any problems at all and the car feels like it can take the full potential now of the headers without the CEL...hell I even raced a GSR the other day and stayed pretty even with him through 3rd gear...anyways I hope that I can save up enough cash to get the other products done to my car and we can for sure get 20-25 hp from the car.

I hope nexus industries does good on the promise of lifetime warranty on the header.

On the WR intake be careful because I heard there are two versions that have the MAF Sensor in different locations and one of them throws the CEL!!! So be careful to make sure the MAS does not go in on the top, that is the bad one...

This fix has been working for me perfectly for 870 miles now on my Alphawerks header. It is critical to get it done properly otherwise you will get a CEL. The instructions were provided thanks to the help of kaeon. Instructions are at the bottom.
