 Racer, you ARE going to ceramic (or some kind of) coat those before they're installed aren't you?

Nah, just use black exhaust tape..chopper style. Much sexier!

Im sure if the light does go on, Race will know how to make it go away, just like he made the limiter go away

Lol,
I tell ya so many questions so little time....
The oxygen sensor should work fine since the guy took his time and installed the proper sensor location on the headers...so no worries there...

Yes, I will have them coated prior to installation so that should be good...

As for the Y pipe...the exhaust shop will be responsible for the installation....I have two ideas...
1. A true dual exhaust. cats will be mounted and a pair of 2.5 inch tubes will run all the way back to the mufflers (borlas). This will sound much better and will yield the best performance numbers...

or

2. Headers go into one 3 inch collector with one cat, run it in the same location as the stock exhaust, split it in the rear, just like factory, and out to the dual mufflers.

I'm not too sure about that one since the factory set-up calls for two cats, if I only run one, it may not pass NJ emission inspection...
So i may have no chose but to go with the first option.

As for the exhaust, I was thinking complete stainless system. This way i'll never have to worry about it again!

If you don't add the cats, you will definitely throw a CEL and not pass emmisions.

I remember you saying that in order to remove your speed limiter you did something to your ECU that makes the engine light stay on either way right?

Looking at the "front" header, the location of the downstream 02 sensor does not look right. It looks too far down.
