Well basically after inspecting the car today I discovered the o2 housing I bought from lancershop.com and had on the car for about 5 months now has a nasty crack in it on the opposite side of the o2 sensor. It seems as though my luck isn't great this month.

Thank you for the warning. Have you contacted Helix about it?

 

No since it was just today.

 

This is why buschur offers porting & coating service on stock cast iron o2 housing and manifold ...

 

Damn i just bought this 02 housing also! I wonder how many people had this problem?? Im going to contact gruppe-s

 

This is why Im going to port my stock one.

 

Hey Bryan,

Can you please post some pix if possible?? We have sold hundreds of these o2 housings and this is the first time we have heard it cracked..

Thanks

Cal

 

I'll see if I can post some up later today.

hmmmm this cant be good
I was going to go with Helix stuff but I think Im going to change my mind on that
any other O2 housings that are good out there?

 

just by looking @ all the O2 housing out there they'll probably crack sooner or later. there is a reason your stock O2 is a thick cast iron piece.

 

i'll be waiting for the pics, we'll see if you just had a bad one.. first time i've heard of this

 

I think i'm going to stick with my stock O2 Housing untill I really need it.

 

Ive heard about the O2 housing 2 times now and a WHOLE bunch of people having fitment problems with the cat-back exhaust from Helix....off to one side

 

How restrictive is the stock one anyway?

Would it be smart to port the stock one when using a TBE, or just a waste of time?

 

I would like to know also or maybe an alternative that wont crack?
