    IIRC = If I Recall Correctly

    Okay so i finally got a few parts after two weeks of strugglin wit my bank and the stupid website.



    im still missin the other front strut, i hope it comes tomorrow cuz i dont want to call them again with another problem. Just ordered the lowerin springs, megan cat-back, and dc strut brace today so an other week of anticipation. Quick question tho, should i get pillow ballmounts?

    So got the megan catback the other day and i tried to put it on today but ran into a problem, the flange from the cat pretty much welded the bolts on so i cant get it out. I called a local exhaust shop and hopefully theyll get it on today.

    Now since the megan didnt have anywhere to put the o2 sensor on there i just zip tied it for now but my check engine light is on. Any suggestions?

    The downstream O2 sensor sets off the P0420 code, you'll need a tune to eliminate the code entirely, or have an exhaust shop tap a new flange for the O2 sensor.

    Good to know. Is it possible to slice that sensor into the other one that runs right before the cat?

    No, they monitor two separate things. The upstream O2 sensor helps regulate the spark and fuel going into the engine. The downstream just monitors the cat.

    The code will come right back after a few miles since you clipped the wire. lol
