i just installed the bushur racing 3" tbe with hfc and bullit muffler, it runs great but the cel just popped after 45 or so miles of driving. is this consistent with the whole " if the cel isn't on your car isn't modded" theory or should i be worried

 

you threw a CEL, weird. because the BR TBE comes with a mechanical fix. I went with the test pipe/ bullet muffler combo. I do have their TBE and I havent thrown a CEL. Pull out your O2 sensor and reinstall it. Make sure you get it perpendicular as possible and reset your ECU.

 

think it might be cause i haven't gotten around to replacing the o2 sensors cause there is bout 38k on these

 

dont think so, then they you would have thrown the cel with the stock exhaust. Pull out the o2 sensor and reinstall it, and reset your ecu. Like I stated make sure you get it straight as possible, you don't want it at an angle.

 

you dont need to replace your o2, take it out clean it, then get anti fouler and space it out. look in the "how to" forums should be something like "o2 cheat for 5 bucks" very easy to install.

 

Tien he doesn't need an anit fouler, Buschur already has a mechanical fix on the cat back section welded on.

 

oh, ill take that back.

 

you do want a slight angle. Its supposed to be pointing down so condensation can drip off. At least thats what I remember reading a long time ago. Its been a few years since I installed my exhaust system.

 

Yea listen to them n clean out your o2 housing..

 

just got back from autozone and the engine code is a p0420 so let me git this straight i want the o2 sensor to come in from the top?? so i gotta twist the pipe until its up there or coming in from the side i'm tryin to get the perpendicular thing straight

 

Did you check to see what the code actually was?

 

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
this is what i've found in the forum

 

What I was asking is did you actually pull the code from the ECU to make sure thats what it was.

Did you purchase this brand new from us? It should have came with a mechanical CEL fix if it did. Please let me know if you did not recieve this.

Thanks

ya i got it brand new from you and just to make sure that i got the mechanical fix what does it look like is it part of the o2 bung welded on or is it one of the other pieces that were in the baggy

 

It is a small billet bung that threads into the 02 sensor hole and then the 02 sensor threads into that.
