Did it today.......and yesterday......we had problems......trust me it was bad.
Bolts on the heat shield and downpipes were toqued down by an airgun when the engine was out....You know how hard it is to get out by hand? Those bolts ain't easy to get to man.

FWIW if you decide to install the cats, you may need to pull some slack into the wires. You may need
it to reach the post-cat O2 holes. There is slack in there, i promise. Whatever you don't need you can zip-tie. We had to reroute the sensor wires at the junction boxes at the back of the engine bay to find enough slack for the AWE pipes' holes. PITA, too...

bwahahah!!!! I dunno how to fix your errors.....(more)
Hell, Pat's car didn't have anything wrong and we had to duct tape his O2 sensor back together....Rewire the sensor wires back togethere, there are 4 of the, so make sure and get it right.....Also, get someone with an APR computer to disable your 2nd O2 sensor....I think that's part APR's program though? So try switching your O2 sensors around.....FYI our install took just over 12 hours on the car.

True...but if the S2k is stock, i don't think you'll outrun me. BTW, I didn't say they are BAD.
I actually like the cars. They handle like a Miata and pull like one with a turbo. But you had better be in the right gear coming out of the last turn in to the straits. I spool up purty quick

I think your hypothesis that itwas a short was accurate, and that your rewire was possibly off...
You should have zip-tied the 02 Sensors to the frame, but not in baggies or anything...Just open-ended. If you joined two wires together that weren't supposed to be, then the current may have been misdirected, hence the "Unknown code" DTC. I'm just hypothesizing myself. I'm no electrical engineer. But Rob Chang is...Ask him on the S4 Atlanta forum. He may be able to help: (Atlanta-S4@yahoogroups.com)
