O/R y-pipe? worth it?
O/R y-pipe? worth it?
well i havent been on here in a while and im wanting to get a o/r y-pipe found a stainless works pipe for 195 ,,,,what gains can i expect and is there anything should do after the install
not worth it on the dual cat setup.
gains are minimal for the $$ and clearance issues. and i speak from experience. i had a bassani ORP on my ls1....other than sound...no difference could be felt. but i had clearance issues like crazy with the frame.
spend the $$ on other mods

^ yeah.. or suspension mods.. they'll help you feel your power better.. or the allways FREE Weight reduction! -I'm hooked!
Magnaflow C/B is cheap and sounds good.. Pacesetter headers may even outlast the car, and they're QUITE affordable!

sub frame connectors
when I drove my car out of the welder's lot of was like wtf was i thinking, Why didnt i buy these the day after the car.
If your a t top than you will notice a lot of stiffness, a hard top I cant speak for.

^ They connect the rear to the front sub frames.. .Kind of hard to explain..
These cars do not have a FULL frame like a truck or the 1st and second Gens did (I think 2nd gens did, CMIIW) .. THe front has a K member and a part of a frame, the rear had another part of a frame. In the middle is basically heavy sheet metal connecting everything.. THe SFC's connect the 'lost' link between the front and rear sub frames. The makes it as close to a FULL frame as you can get with out having to do MAJOR fabrication to the car. It helps a LOT with handling!!
Here... A better definition.

hey guys got a stainless works off road y-pipe on my car cause the passenger side converter was stopped up really bad, so i decided to go off road pipe,,,anyway my question is my check engine light was on before the swap due to a catalyst code, so after the swap should i by O2 simulators or not worry about them by the way i would need 2 simulators
or just live with the SES light untill you get around to having a full tune (after more mods).
the codes for the rear o2 sensors have NO affect on the running condition of the motor.
