Default Help a mechanical maroon out: when making piggie pipes,

you're supposed to move the second o2 sensor behind the newly gutted precat. Which one is the second o2 sensor, how do you "move" this thing, and how do you stick it back on, with krazy-glue?

And what exactly does "gutting" a pre-cat involve? Do you jam a broomstick in there and jiggle it around?

Thanks for the info.

Default I still think the easiest way to make piggie pipes is to

run leaded race gas for 2 months straight and replace the 02 sensors right after you fill up with unleaded again.

Or is that the fun way? I always mix those two up. ;-)

Use Gorilla Glue to afix the O2 sensors & use a hunting knife to gut the cats. Quite simple.

Default There are two pairs of 02 sensors on this car. Bank one (passengers side) and.....

bank two (drivers side). Each bank has two 02 sensors on the down pipe. The first one is for rich/lean and the 2nd one is for emissions. The 2nd set is the one your concerned about.
You can either move them (not totally sure how mike does it), get APR II+ software which ignores the 2nd set of 02 sensors... OR just wrap the 02 sensors up in ballons and zip tie them up someplace safe. Be sure to plug the old holes in the DP's up.

Default The "2nd" set of sensors are located ON the cats. You'll need to seal these bungs up, and weld in

a new O2 bung after the car (I'm pretty positive).

If you don't have cats or 02 sensors you can run leaded gas.

Default Not too sure about that man....

I would worry about the valve seals... and the fluxcapasitor!
