How's that Kamikaze High Temp. Black Coating, 4-1 Header? Do you know anything about it? Also would you need the mil eliminator with the Kamikaze Header?

 

What type of resistor is it? Just a regular one? How many Ohms of resistance? Thanks! And how do you install it?

 

I got a cel eliminator from bigjoshracing and it didn't work so I went to the threads and found the mechanical fix using spark plug anti-foulers and it's worked great for the last 6,000 miles or so. My advise do the mechanical fix (keeps o2 sensor stock)and save your stock exhaust for smog checks.

 

Cool fix. I have started telling people that i thought it would work and you proved it. Where did you install it at?

ROAD/RACE

 

Can the "test pipe" that RRM makes be used on the street?

 

YEs it can be used on the street. As for legality, it depends on your state.

ROAD/RACE

 

roughly how much power can you get from the test pipe?

 

I did the mechanical O2 fix and it works great. So far no CEL. You just stick the two antifoulers on the second O2 sensor. There are a number of threads explaining the process. Its a great and effective $4.00 CEL fix.

 

Testpipe will give you very little gains, its built more for a turbo car. It will definately free up high end power though.

 

Viciouz is correct. Anti fouler seems to work for everyone also. Thanks for supporting that.

i'm glad you brought that page to my attention. it's a big help for us newbs.

 

check out all of Road//RACE corner. It has a lot of install guides in there too!

ROAD/RACE

 

It's a nice little guide, but I think it warrants more detail. The author should get a little more in depth and describe the differences between short ram and cai performance or explain how an LSD works (and if it's truly needed), just as some examples. What's the best header, 4-2-1 or 4-1? Will getting a test pipe result in less torque? What are the ideal size tires for the Lancer? What's the difference in performance between hard and soft suspensions? These are all basic questions I see asked all the time on these boards. It would be great if they were all condensed into one FAQ like this.

 

But to answer all those quetions takes so much time, and there are tons of questions out there like that. You can only answer them as they come and go

 

There are many threads on it here, literally tons of it.

Search the net.

It's somewhat subjective. It depends where do you want your power in the rpm band.

Search the net.

People are lazy to search. It's subjective too as the argument "TC vs SC" debate for 4 bangers or "Why Evo is better than STi or vice-versa or whatever vehicle that comes along in competition".
