Yup no problem. Like I said since we live in the same state and have the same setup there shouldn't be a problem with yours. Just make sure you don't have a small exhaust leak like I did, either that or it was my sensor connection (which I doubt). Try that before you spend money on cats and stuff. Good luck!

OK, I'm back from vacation, and I loaded up the street emissions tune, and all seems good. Car runs well, and no cel. Now I'll be able to pass the yearly inspection. So THAT problem is solved. However, after driving a few thousand miles with the race tune, I suddenly got a CEL! The codes were p0133 and p0153. I did research on the codes, and I understand the basic concept. Repositioning the the pre-cat 02 sensors farther downstream creates issues with their operating specs. Tweaking the "delay transport" MAY solve this issue, but it may not. Another option is to let the car warm up before driving. Otherwise I'm SOL! I'm pretty disappointed at this point. In my ignorance, I kind of expected that if I install headers WITH o2s, and get a catted xpipe with o2 sensors, and have BAMA tweak the ECM, the car would still be within EPA specs, AND perform better than stock. The performance is definitely there, the car runs very strong! But now, sadly after spending quite a bit of money, I'm just beginning to think I may just have to scrap the headers, and return the car to stock exhaust...ugh. If anyone has found a solution to the p0133 and p0153 issues please chime in, I would like to know if anyone has found a definite fix for this issue. Thanks!
