well, i just read somewhere u can extend the wires, so i will probably do that for a temporary thing.
thats what i did i cut my 02 sensors... now im afraid that they have gotten burnt thru and thats why i get the cel every month or so.

I have an O/R X which I installed in my garage with the stock O2s. Whenever I disconnect then reconnect the X-pipe, sometimes the CEL comes on, sometimes it doesn't. And when it does, it goes away after a few miles, so I think it's totally random as to who ends up with a CEL or not, no real guarantee.

Hi
I just extended my 3" BBK eliminators to 2ft thinking that splicing would do the trick
My cel still comes on
What did I do wrong? I have been talking to a BBK tech
I have heard that soldered joints can cause a raise in resistance
Even length in wire can

I need the extensions for my 04
Not having very good luck with the eliminators
I've heard that even still, the eliminators resistance may not be enough to trun off the engine light
I have no cats at all now, just the x
sounds awesome with stock mufflers
