I was wondering if the o2 sensor will throw code with the installation of an aftermarket header/exhaust. does that ever happen?

 

you wont get a cel with an exhaust but you will with w header.. the way to fix the cel with a header is to put a defouler on the secondary 02 sensor.

 

whats a defouler and where can i get it? also i was planing on using a test pipe if that makes a difference.

 

when you remove a cat you always get a CEL

 

unless you use a defouler.

http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat...oducts_id=2817 $45 shipped. this is what you put the secondary o2 in if you're deleting the cat.

 

^^thats way overpriced. im running this on my car. even though it says an integra application it works on our cars. and save yourself some cash

i've heard of issues with the defouler not fitting if it's not bent like the one i linked to. personally i think even the one in your link is overpriced; i bought a pack of 2 defoulers from schucks for like $7 a couple years ago.

 

no its perfectly fine. i ran it on my dc header and i have it on my skunk2 header i just got and i've had no problems. i've had this defouler for about 28k miles already. 45 for a defouler is just plan ridiculous. at least the jhpusa one shouldnt be any more than 10-15 shipped.

and thats a couple years ago. prices went up on everything bro.

 

That Blox defouler fits just fine. I have the exact same one on my RH for 2 years now.

 

another valid claim
so hows the dc holding up??

 

this is not true. or i just have a freak car. no cel 3 weeks and 2k miles later after installing my vibrant header.


but if u get one, u can make ur own out of spark plug defoulers or buy an angled defouler from strup or anywhere.

 

im running the strup defouler works good..... how did you guys get the other defouler to fit? is it really really short? because its really tight under there

 

Just fine. Had the car in the air a few days ago and all is good with the DCRH.....despite what all the other dimwits say about it. No cracks, leaks or bends.

 

thanks guys. i think i'll try my local auto parts store first and only opt for the $45 if i have too

 

hahaha thats good.
yea idk why everyone thinks the dcrh is a p.o.s.
its a real good header. i never had any problems with mine as well.
i've been rockin the new skunk2 header for the past week and a half.
i love it too
