Is there a definitive solution for o2 simulator with midpipe?

hi

You've heard of it, just refuse to acknowledge it

The GTAW bushing is working for some people

I've got one I'll let you try, if it works you pay me for it, if not send it back

Do the 18mm spark plug defouler trick, same concept as the GTAW "bushing" except it costs about 2 dollars to do.

I've driven with my midpipe for about 300 or so miles with no CEL and NO simulator/bushing... Sometimes it takes a while. So give it a couple thousand miles before you know it "works"

hello

now arround 150 miles .... and no cell

I think it's ok

but it's really loud

perhaps the solution :

exhaust valve controller :


FULLY ADJUSTABLE SWITCH FROM 100% OPEN TO 100% CLOSE.( 30%...55%..80%..all range adjustable)

* HEAVY DUTY MOTOR WITH POLISH LOOK, MADE IN GERMANY.

* 2.5" INLET. 2.3" BUTTERFLY.

* SIMPLY ADJUST EXHAUST RESPONSE AND VOLUME FROM THE SEAT. NO MORE PAIN IN THE BUTT TO PUT ON AND OFF THE SILENCER.

* BACK LIGHT SWITCH.

* REDUCE THE CHANCE TO GET ATTENTION FROM POPO. (POLICE) WHY PAY MORE TO COURT WHEN U CAN ALREADY AFFORD A NICE UNIQUE ITEM LIKE THIS? YOU CAN DRIVE YOUR PROJECT ON THE STREET WITHOUT WORRIES!!

*GREAT COMBO USE WITH TEST PIPE*

and 185 $ on ebay
anybody test it ??

that goes with a cut-out which would be infront of the CAT. From what i understand the gains are going to be very minimal.

I talked to RP before i ordered mine. They said there was barely any difference between the two, and highly recommended going with the high-flow cat.

I think the difference in hp should be minimal

but when I see how the car rev now without the cat

I think you should have a difference in torque with the cat (minimal perhaps cause it's a sport cat)

You'd notice the difference more with a turbo'd car than n/a.

Businesses aren't environmentally responsible

Plus they're in Texas, since when is anyone in Texas concerned about the environment? (joke)

so reading through all of these post on this thread....you guys would reconmend that it would be better to go with the high-flow cat. There really isn't a difference that much in power, and you are really just paying for the loudness, oh and the two foot flames that shoot out the back. Thats my next question would you still be able to shoot the flames with the high flow cat on.....I think that is cool as ****, that way if some A-Hole gets to close I can just give it a rev and take care of him.
