got the prochamber on but driver side front o2 sensor is short. was told that i didnt need the extentions. its an 03 gt. please get back asap will the car run? or run like crap with only 3 in place and connected?

sprostang

It will run like crap without the fronts connected. You should only need extensions for the rears only. The fronts should hook up fine.

matt123

they all hooked up with extra slack except front drivers side any ideas?

sprostang

You could then splice the wires and extend them for a quick fix. I`ve never done that before but it can be done. I only needed to extend the rears. I used extensions though.

ok finally together wires are very tight. no check engine light so far, drove a few miles. smells bad and smokes, possible the finish on the pipe? also there was an aluminum sleeve? with the prochamber how important is that? where would it go? found it after the install, is it important? thanks guys.

sprostang

The aluminum sleeve is a reducer. It goes on the drivers side, inside the midpipe before you connect it to the manifold. You may have a hell of an exhaust leak without it. As for the smell/smoke, its normal. It will go away after a while.

I forgot to do my reducer and it sucks :P Did you use the MAC supplied gasket? If so, get a Ford metal one and replace it, that gasket will burn up and smell like a**. The p/c has a smell for about 2 weeks b/c of the coating MAC uses, it goes away, trust me.

As for the O2 sensors, the factory clips are attached to the top of the tranny, you can unclip them and give you more room :P

sprostang

Yeah, the one that comes with the midpipe is a POS. I just re used the stock metal one. No problems.

matt123

**** i am really pissed now. come to mention it the car does sound differant driving and idling. is it due to not putting in the reducer? How would you describe teh sound of the exhaust leak? and the reducer just sits in the pipe coming down from the manifold on the drivers side right.

Open the hood and listen, you`ll hear it. Rev the engine a little and you`ll hear it for sure.
