Installing my Kamikaze header this week....

And I plan on taking my second cat and flipping it around to avoid the dreaded "CEL." I know guys here have done this before, and I also read that I'm gonna need to extend the wiring for the 02 sensor, but what kind of wires do I need to get? Do I need to rip into something? I wanna get this thing right the first time so I won't have to deal with it again.

Good question. Because I will be doing the same thing next week when I get my Kamikaze header in. I also bought the mil eliminator as a backup plan. But I would also like to know.

I read in countless posts of guys who buy the mil eliminator only to have it throw the CEL back on. IMO, I don't think all mil eliminators work.

Well, I'm flipping my second cat around first so the second O2 sensor will be behind the second cat. I'm hoping that works...

I bought the mil eliminator just incase if plan A doesn't work that way the Mil Eliminator will be my plan B.

I'd RATHER have plan A work. Doing that is better than the mil eliminator.

That's funny I heard it DOES work. I think you need to install correct to have it work.

Well yea, like i said before a lot of people have put them on, they've worked for x amount of miles and then the CEL comes back on. That's why I'm trying to find out what steps i need to take to get this cat flipping done correctly.

That's what I want to do too. Flip the cat that way I don't need the mil eliminator. Is there enough wire for the O2 sensor to reach that far?

i dont think you do. If you pull the plug through the hole under the car you should have plenty of room. You'll know what im talkin about when you get under there.
