You do know you will get a CEL from your secondary O2 sensor, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blkcivic Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 a CEL? well just by looking at the pipes on testpipe.com they come already treaded for an o2 sensor so i am guessing i would just thread mine in... but i dont know i have no clue about tese test pipes, i usually just buy a piece of tail pipe and clamp it up there. i have never really bought a test pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20G TSi Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 cel = check engine light. Some ecu's are affected when an error code is shown (such as low o2 voltage after removing a converter). Some arent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blkcivic Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 ok as for the other problem i am hearing about is that the cat on my car is actually one piece with the manafold(?) so how would the test pipe work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Quik7 Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 If you are running a stock exhaust manifold, you will have to have the stock piping cut and have the test pipe welded into place. A test pipe is pretty worthless IMO, unless you have forced induction, or are making jumbo horsepower. If you have a relatively stock system, you are more likely to lose power, rather than gain it.
