Default Ecode Testpipe mixed with Wayne's 02 Sensor block = the tank

been running with waynes 02 block on an ecode testpipe this year, maybe drove 4K on this setup total.

today the rear 02 sensor bung along with the block separated from the pipe all together.

I think that waynes block is way too heavy for the pipe or my welds were just poorly done.

Either way:
everyone running my setup should check its structural integrity this weekend.

How it should look:

How it looks now:

I'd blame the weld... Looks pretty dirty, and thin.

Default Looks like ECode Tuning has some crappy welding if the whole thing just peeled off like that...

Guess you can hate another tuner, like VVME...

Wanna head out to Crazy Rays and start picking parts?

I got a whole box filled with tools etc.. Could use a second hand prob to help me move the stuff around.

Trying to get some stuff for the B5 if i come across anything useful.

Default So did Ecode weld that bung on, or a previous owner?

You wrote that "my welds were just poorly done".
