Yes sir it is...thats why I went and spent 120 bucks to get a testpipe made, I don't have the money to get a header or cat-back right now, but I still took advantage of a lot of top-end power gains with this

Did anyone notice when they had fitted the test pipe they lost the V-tec kick, more linear?

I don't know if it was as the exhaust is noisier it made it less noticeable.

I am about to install a air/fuel gauge and then go to they dyno for tuning... Am I right to say that the air/fuel readings will not be altered by the recessed o2 sensor?

won't change a thing...they run off voltage from the front O2...

This isn't a blinky light one is it? Cause in reality they are nothing more than a show anyway

Hecash: I tried your method w/ the 02 sensor, and it didn't work for me. I did everything using the stock 02 sensor harness and splicing in the new 02 sensor using that part number. I think that method works for the primary 02 sensor, b/c I'm still getting a cel: p0141.

I'm probably just going to order the oem one instead. I haven't installed a testpipe, b/c it's still coming in the mail. I just wanted to post some pictures to clear up some things. So, i'll post again once i get that installed and get a new 02 sensor.


xing fingers....

Swt, The Primary and Secondary 02's have different resistance values for each heater. That's the biggest reason you can't swap them. Did you use a secondary 02 spliced in?
