My check engine light came on today while grabbing a bite to eat on break so i checked the code when i got home and its throwing a p0153. Its 4 am so i honestly havent searched much but i saw that it has something to do with the front o2 sensors being late or something. I have BBK shorties on my car but they have been on my car for over a year. Any ideas on what the problem is? I saw something mention that it could be in the tune. Im stock tuned atm but i just ordered a CAI and tuner yesterday

For a while I got this code all the time. Granted I have long tubes so my O2 sensors are a little further back, but even with shorty headers your O2 sensors are technically still farther away (BBK headers are "tuned", meaning different lengths for better scavenging). I would think this is the actual cause of this code being thrown, and nothing to really worry about. It's just your car thinking your O2 sensor is lagging. When you get your tuner make sure whoever gives you your tune knows you have the shorty headers, they may need to add a little delay for that. Hope this helps.
