sorry forgot to add the in the old set the exhaust tip would be black after a good run but after putting in the new set there is a brownish residue in the exhaust.the acceleration is better and it will pull to the redline.this problem is an on and off thing.
thanks

Clean the MAF.

You will retain the Cel code unless you re-set it.

Res-set the ECU

and resets the NVRAM since youve been driving with the misfires they may be "learned" to be expected by the e-shaft sensor.
