maybe i should call the company up and complain?

 

not sure it would do any good, but you never know. I would give it a try.

 

awwww man. I rounded the nut above the alt pretty damn bad. Any suggestions wut i could do to take it off? Would a shop be able to do it even though it is hella rounded?

 

what i did was i used an ofset wrench and it comes off easly. here is what they loook like,

 

thanks for the advice, but i just took it to my friends shop and he used some thing that looked kinda like an ice pick, placed it on where i rounded it and hit it with the hammer. he was able to take it off that way and it only took like 2 mins. But for the future, i think im gonna go check out those offset wrenches.

 

i found the rachet set that bends mulitple times to be most effective to get that bolt of near the alt.

 

HP Racing is sending me a free stainless steel header to replace my current one. for the same price... swaping them out.. i would say there was a large increase in power.. I managed to cook my tires the first time out.. but cooked my clutch as well.. so i ordered a stage one spec clutch. It sounds like the exhaust has opened up. But i still have a stock exhaust so on cold start ups the exhaust is slamming the baffles. it sounds like the muffler is going to explode. That S pipe looks like a B*itch to get off. Its tucked pretty far up there. It was ugly too.. it made me want to take it off.

 

I have a couple questions, has anyone found an exact fix for the CEL light coming on? I have tried all of these fixes that were listed on here and have had no success.

Would anything be accomplished if I replaced the S-pipe and remove the second cat?

Or has anyone tried moving the air/fuel sensor to the secondary O2S location and move the second O2S to a new location after the second cat?

The reason I ask is because the DTC that I was getting was saying there was a problem with the primary Air/ fuel sensor.

 

ok, so ive look up and down the pipe, and i still cant find the second o2 sensor. is it b/c its an auto tc??

 

its still on that pipe you connect to the header trust me. Its just way up there. i think its right at the bend up top.

 

Which header do you have? I heard that the Megan people are having trouble... the worst is that I have a megan coming on the mail.

 

HP racing header has signifigant gains... i dynoed an extra 8-10hp with just the header.. they claim 15 hp additions but i have yet to see that.

 

if you dont want a cel take the led out,,,,

 

led out? that is ? more importantly where is that....

 

Ok, my megan just got here. I've seen suggestions to use a 3/8 drill instead of 1/2. I'll try the 3/8, if it doesn't work, I'll try 1/2. I'll leave an update here once I'm done.

Ps.: The exhaust is all stock OEM

 

OK i have looked everywhere, where is everyone getting their dc headers, and what price is the cheapest

 

Two quick questions. It seems obvious but no one has mentioned it yet. after you drill the 1/2 inch or 3/8 " hole do you have to thread the hole or is the 02 sensor pretty much self tapping? And also, what is this i hear about the 02 sensors being cross threaded from the factory? So they won't come off??

 

ok, I just got my dc sports header, i'm installing next week. I have a axel-back Magna Flow Dual exhaust set-up just to let everyone know. I went to a Local Auto-zone and asked about the spark plug anit-foul and they looked at me like i was stupid, and i felt stupid because they had no clue what i was talking about, lol. I saw the pic of the anti-foul and i looked in every row of vehicle appliances they had in auto-zone before i asked them about it. PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO GET IT!!!!!!!

 

By the way, what is PB Blaster????? Where can i get it????? and my car is a automatic tran.

 

lol - I did the same thing and they looked at me the same way. By the way, I felt stupid too because I had no clue of what I was saying... plus, I was misspronouncing it with my brazilian accent... dang I felt stupid! Anyways, you can find at advance autoparts. I kept on asking and explaining, but when I got to the 4th guy he understood me.
