Default How important is it that I replace my busted O2 sensors?

I already installed an Injen short ram.

I know the O2 sensors are both busted.... Where can I get these cheapest and maybe OEM or better? Do they really make a big difference as far as performance goes or gas mileage goes?


Also, have you guys heard of those SLR performance chips? Do they really work? Sounds retarded. What do you think is a good "electronic" (chip or something similar) that would be good to put into a daily-driver V6 Accord with a SRI installed?

GET OEM o2 sensors.

They last longer than the cheap ones you buy on Ebay, etc.

OEM DENSO O2 SENSORS

as far as performance upgrades well it depends how much you want to spend ... obviously the basics are intake/header/exhaust ...

Don't get a performance chip. The tuning could be entirely different than the tune on the chip memory. It's dangerous for your engine. I bought a "mugen" chip for my B16 ECU that let me rev to 10K RPM. Back then I didn't know any better. Ever since I installed the chip it ran like **** until it finally blew up (melted hole through the piston).

An AFC would be a better idea than a chip. EMS would be better, but that's a lot more crap to deal with.
