02 extensions or eliminators?

simbill · 07-01-2007, 06:49 PM

Okay, so about 6 months ago I slap on a Pypes headerback exhaust system, high flow catted x pipe. Now, they didnt drill the holes close enough to the header side of the x-pipe, so they didnt reach. I unplugged the O2 sensor from the wire, and plugged the sensor into the pipe. Now the wire is hanging there, tied to some metal brace. I bought extensions, the BBK ones from Americanmuscle.com, and they dont fit right! Im wondering if they sent me wrong extensions or do I need the MIL Elmininators?

You may actually want to call Pypes. I know they had a bad batch of incorrectly made products, and they were willing to fix them for the customer. Maybe call them and see what they can do for you?

I did, the day i got the exhaust! They said that they forgot to drill the holes for the o2 sensors, and they sent me 2 doughnuts and told me to drill my own holes.. (F**K THAT) so i left them unplugged hanging. Im thinking the eliminators would be the way to go?

Are these for the front or rear o2 sensors?

Im hoping its rear as all that does is see if the cats work and you don't need to plug them im as i see your tuned and they can turn that off if they haven't already. Now if the fronts aren't pluged in thats bad.

rear, I can see a set of two plugged in towards the headers, the lower ones are the ones that are unplugged.

Ah yes well then it doesnt matter if your tune doesnt allready have the rears turned off you can go into your xcal and change the options so the rear o2 sensors are off and now you dont have to do anything
