Whoah!!!! Some galants are OBD2? Looks like there's an oxygen sensor that's coming from the side of the header. I only have one, and it's right after the cat.. What year is the galant that has the headers installed (looks like the car belongs to "white -G-Host")

Damn this really sucks :cry: . Why does mitsubishi change the wiring diagram and conver the car to OBD2 in 1996 instead of 1994?

it IS kevins car, i beleive its a 96 but has the 97-98 nose on it

Initial -G-host · 08-30-2002, 11:44 AM

That is my car (Its a 95 with a 97-98 front conversion). It is now sponsored by Vision Imports. I posted information on the other topic 'RPW Headers being tested....." but I will post the info here about the headers.

-----Its official...White -G-host is the first with the RPW headers from Vision Imports. They were fitted and bolted on my 4g64 Tuesday this week. Flexpipe didn't come precut from RPW...so I had to get measurements for Vision Imports. I am pre-cutting the flexpipes for Vision Imports so when shipped..customers do not have to do it themselves. Claimed bhp gains from RPW is 22+ horsepower...and I can speak for that. Car has MUCH more pick up and very strong at top end power. Actual Dyno results will be available sometime soon.

- RPW headers are Gun Metal in color
- .O2 sensor is has been relocated to the header itself.(There is another one after the Cat. Converter but is left as is) You will need to relocate the wiring. On stock setup...the 02 sensor is located on he flexpipe. This requires NO MODIFICATION. The wiring is long enough to reach the header. The relocation of the O2 sensor allows for a more accurate reading for the ECU.
- Header comes with flexpipe. (Should only have to bolt on since I got exact measurements done)

Can I get a <span style='font-size:25pt;line-height:100%'>Hell Yeah!!!!</span> ?

Looks awsome Kevin, I like the gunmetal look 8)

It's weight less too right?

**95vegasgalant** · 08-30-2002, 09:53 PM

:twisted: I have 2 o2 sensor before the flex and after the cat is there a hole for the o2 before the flex pipe the wire for the o2 will be too short if its on the side but i guess you can splice some wires but the longer the wire the more the resistance which menas it will be different what the o2 is reading compared to what the computer is reading throung the long wire help please I wanna get one Denver usually got the info for this thanks :twisted:

According to Kevin it will reach no problem, and he has the same year G as you do. Even if it did require a foot or so more wire it would not effect the ECU in any significant way.

Whats the price for em? I didnt see anything posted right now, but I probably missed it

**2True** · 08-31-2002, 12:42 AM

Maybe I missed something. Why did you move the O2 sensor? It seems to me that you'd not get a true reading with the location given in the picture as it seems to be reading only the #3 cyl. Can the sensor just be left in the stock position immediately before the cat? And to answer the question on OBDII, all 7th generation Galants are technically OBDII. The ones prior to '96 just don't have the OBDII interface under the dash. I guess Mitsubishi was just too lazy to mess with changing things in the middle of the production line. I like the headers though. Perhaps when my current finincial situation settles down I'll get me a set. Does anyone know when RPW will have a steady enough supply there won't be a back order?

**Mitsiman** · 09-03-2002, 07:55 PM

We are making 25 sets of these header systems straight away and will always keep 10 or so after this in stock for future orders although Vision Imports will be stocking these as well.

These headers were origonally made off a Australian model car which tend to run the O2 sensor in the front pipes of teh cars which is where we started from.

I will place an additional undrilled O2 sensor both in front of the cat converter and after the merge collector for people who can choose where they want to place the O2 sensor.

Sweet. It's so nice to see a company (any company, but especially one that cares about Galants) try to do so much for their customers. If I remember Greddy had made plans for headers for the Galant/Eclipse GS spyder but ran into one or two snaggs and scrapped the whole idea... I'm just happy to see us getting some support. In the near future I'll probably be getting my own set of headers. Thanks to RPW and Vision Imports for putting up with the hastle to help us.

Amen Bro'. Ship mine now, i'm ready

Definitely a HUGE high five to David and RPW and also to Vision Imports... You guys are a HUGE help and it's much appreciated by everyone here.

THANK YOU!

The headers are definitely on my list of things to buy.
