Default $M$P uniqueness going in this weekend! w00t.

Got this in from texas today, purchased from a fellow member. Unique design for an ITR, almost like a toda , but still very different. Can't wait to put her on. This will be my third header on her (running stock manifold now). First JDM ITR, then Sp00n, now the best

Or, take out the CEL lightbulb? an o2 CEL should not cause any performance difference dictated from the CPU.

I ran a testpipe for 10 months with the CEL on, and yes, performance was not affected.

If the light gets annoying I might pop it out...

The only thing bad with that idea is that if you have another problem that you don't know about in the future, you will have no way of knowing (if it's not an obvious problem). You might want that CEL bulb there. That's why people try to get rid of CEL's (when it is known where they are coming from and there isn't really a problem) via things like missing link and o2 simulator. Either get an o2 simulator or buy an obd2 cat. Go the right way the first time around. I'm sure you can afford it if you can afford that header.

If the CEL light is on because of not O2 bung, i wouldnt know if there was another problem anyway. Im looking to get an OBD2 cat from SMSP or in the classifieds now.

Why not just get a O2 bung welded on the exit of your cat?

Rguy-

Email me your address and I'll send an O2 bung to ya.

edit: I just looked at the cat picture. That's one that I didn't make. It looks like you'll have to remove some of the heat shield to weld the bung into the body. Plus the 3 bolt flange is in a different orientation.

Thanks! Ill get some of the "engineers" at tech to take a look at it. If anything ,we can weld it to the B pipe and extend the wires.
