If you want a cheap fix just get a megan 02 housing from the forsale section for like 100 dollars. Then you will have a full tbe and it will save you the headache of doing it later when your craving for more power

the o2 house is defiantly not fun to do at all! I recommend if you plan to replace it, take your radiator out while doing it!! i smacked mine and broke it had to buy a new one. I got a QTP atmospheric o2 dump it sounds awesome and the quality is great.

But imo if you really like your car and want to mod it, take it off and replace it

Yup I want to do it right the first time , my friend Chris ( Wick3dEvo ) goes to Kevin D to get his work done and tells me he does a great job at what he does.

So today as I was researching on all this I stumbled upon some questions that I was wondering if you guys could answer :

1. With a aftermarket o2 housing will I run into any fitment issues , CEL , or any other kind of issue?

2. When removing the oem o2 housing do I HAVE to remove the DP ? Because mine is literally welded onto the o2 housing . The rest of the exhaust is welded together at the ends as well ... FAIL . My concern is the 2 bolts underneath that you must take off on the o2 housing , hence why I'm asking if I have enough clearance to take it off with the DP being on .

3. Aside from the aftermarket ebay/megan o2 housing that everybody is recommending , is there any other aftermarket o2 housings you guys suggest that have worked on your cars ?

if you get a cheap/ebay o2, there are fitment issues and you need to drill out the holes a little bit to make it fit.

yes the DP has to come off to get the 02 housing off

evo powermods has a O2 that has a external dump, lots of people like that. im not a fan of open dump cause it is insanely loud
