Default **Must Read** got o/r X-pipe installed....

Ok ,fellas i installed my VRS o/r X-pipe today..and my my the power and are far beyond what i had expected...now this is an off road pipe but get this no check engine light....how did i do it you ask? Mil eliminators? yes, but i made them myself..and they did not cost me 50-70 bucks..it cost me 2 bucks and i got them at discount..now dont go into advance or auto zone and ask for them because they'll laugh in your face or charge you 1,000 dolars...here's what to do....

first you go and buy a spark plug non-fouler, they come in a pack of 2 you will be needing both of these 1 for each of the LOWER sensors.


then you grab a drill and use a 3/8 drill bit to drill into this non fouler, not all the way just enough to fit your o2 sensor in snugly. DO NOT GO THROUGH IT ALL THE WAY.


after you have fit the o2 sensor into the spark plug non-fouler you simply plug this into the off road pipe and Voila! you saved 50 dollars with this easy, cheap effective mod. Hope i saved someone else some money with this . ive been driving for 2 days and no CEL

i could never rip off a fellow mustang...i do it to civic all the time, coming in with their greddy exhaust "install this for me mister, please" then they ask me do do the unthinkable, taking out their cat..its so horrible for them but whatever, and i charge them 30 bucks for the "CEL eliminator"..[&:]

Neat, I've seen people with home made eliminators. How well do you think they'd be with road salt & just getting weathered..

they hold up just fine...they meant to be under extreme conditions, heat (spark plug area) so they should hold up great..
