I just installed a brand new A-spec ver.2 cat delete on my IX, and they made this pipe to accomidate the o2 sensor on the cat.......so i got it all hooked all up but come to find out with the o2 sensor and the cel fix combined its hits the driveline!! so i tweaked with it to figure out which way to put it. And the only other way it goes is with the o2 sensor pointing slightly down at and angle....its not totally vertical, its closer to lying flat than vertical but still pointing at an angle and i dont feel comfortable with it....Wut should i do?? im affraiif i hit a speed bumb or something a little to fast its gonna rip it right off

 

Your O2 there now serves NO PURPOSE. Just make sure it is out of the way. don't cut the wires to it though. Keep it somewhere it doesn't hit anything.

 

wut do u mean serve no purpose?? its not like i dont have it connected....its just way the spot that they drilled for the hole is in a unsafe spot

 

That o2 sensor is for cat effeciency i believe.

It "shouldn't" effect the performance of your vehicle

 

Its purpose is to "sniff" the cat, and measure it's effectiveness. YOU don't have the cat, so there is no functional purpose for the rear O2 now.(EVEN When conneted to the cat delete pipe) No biggie, as it has been stated, it WONT effect your performance. It just doesnt measure anything.

 

Chill out bro, you can mount the test pipe in 4 different configurations:

1) 180 degrees with 02 sensor facing down
2) 180 degrees with 02 sensor facing up(I think this is the way you have it now)
3) Reverse direction of test pipe and have the 02 sensor facing down
4) Reverse direction of test pipe and have 02 sensor facing up.

It all depends on where the manufacturer installed/positioned the o2 sensor bung. It should take you no more than a few seconds to figure out if it would fit r not. Undo the test pipe and just position the test pipe in the 4 positions I mentioned. If you still have the o2 sensor touching the driveline then you are out of luck and you need to get a different pipe with a different o2 sensor bung location.

could i just bung up the hole and have no o2 sensor since its of no use now??? if i just took it out and let it chill would the check engine light come on?

 

Heres a pic so u guys can see

 

Yes it would cause an engine light. Maybe some flash can disable it like they do with subies but i don't know

 

there a few Sticky's on Cat delete how toos!

SEARCH!

 

would attaching to the mid pipe of my hks catback work, cause it has a bung thats originally for the VIII but i have it closed up now.
