NO....

Do not wire crimp any kind of wire harness dealing with an o2 sensor. sodder the connection and place heat shrink wrap over it to keep it from moisture.

But before you go spending money and may not need it, put the stock header on first and reset the ECU, then drive it awhile. Enough for the cat to heat up and cool down for enough cycles to let the ECU know whats going on now. i'd say drive it 4-5 days regularly and go from there. Dont be lazy. when you put the aftermarket cat on and the CEL is still on, you will have to put the stock header back on anyway...

also taping the wiring harness to the 02 sensor will be the scene of melted wires and a short to circuit or ground out once the copper wire is exposed.

ok so i made up my mind im putting my car back to stock atleast for the cat and front flex will be brand new im going to put new gaskets on and new 02s hopefully then see how the car reacts to the new driving cycles to figure out how the car reacts

ok so i got my new flex pipe and there is a hanger welded to the front of it, where does that go? its been so long since ive been under my car idk where it goes so could someone help me figure out my new dilemma

take it to a shop. let them deal with the headache you are causing yourself.

ok so the car is completely back to stock and so far so good 02s seem to be working good no cel. so here the deal i want to sell that complete exhaust for $300 obo and you cover shipping. i can get pics if anyone wants it fits 00-06 lc and lc2 3 dr stainless 2 1/4" from manifold back and 4-2-1 manifold from evo fusion. had front flex and resonator replaced sounds good also has both 02 bongs for the 02s up and down stream. obviously you might have an cel come up so beware if you buy this setup due to the missing cat.

**thegrim** · 06-27-2009, 05:08 PM

give it time to go thru more drive cycles and startups and cool downs etc... just sell the headers, you can slap the exhaust back on with no problems.

and post that in the for sale thread, not here...
