exhaust changes


brake

Recommended Posts

I've never messed with stock exhausts on OBD-II cars - Do ours have 2x o2 sensors? one pre and one post catalyst?

 

 

Reason I ask is my converter/pipe may very well be leaking and it would be much cheaper to replace with a length of straight pipe as opposed to a converter.....I put straight pipes on my Ford but it only has o2 sensors in the manifolds so anything downstream doesn't matter.

 

 

what do you think? I don't particularly care about emissions; the car is inspected for another 2 years and I don't plan to have it inspected again :D I just can't really afford the cat/pipe and don't like carbon monoxide poisoning very much....at all really.

thanks...there goes my straight pipe idea :D

 

You could still run a straight pipe but will most likely get a check engine lite. You could also run an o2 simulator

in place of the sensor to keep the lite from coming on.
