Off Road H help
Yea i know theres alot of threads on this but i had to make one just to be sure.
Im about to order an O/R H from LMR and was wondering was there anything else i would need? Wouldnt i need MIL eliminators? my friend has a bullitt and he bought the same thing but didnt get MIL's and his CEL didnt come on? sorry for the thread guys but it makes me feel more safe about my purchase ya know?
Peace

RE: Off Road H help
Yes, your SES light will come on with a o/r midpipe. LMR (or any companies) arent selling MIL Elims anymore, due to a EPA crack down.
You've got a couple of options:
1.) Make you own. Very easy, I did my own. http://www.paladinmicro.com/PalMFrame00.htm?wks=MIL
2.) Buy a handheld tuner (Diablo, SCT, Sniper) and turn off the rear o2 sensors.
3.) Live with the annoying SES light.

Oh yea, I mean whenever something goes wrong with your car (most of the time anyways) it will throw the SES light and give you a DTC. If your light is on because of your o/r midpipe, then you probably wont know that something else on your car is triggering your SES light.
Just make your own man, its seriously not that hard - Or man up and buy a tuner.

Na its not that hard at all, heres some steps you can follow.
First go to your local auto parts store and get PB Blaster, this will be a tremendous help.
Spray down all the bolts and let them sit for at least a half hour.
The bolts that old the old H pipe to the manifold are gonna be the sh!tty ones, and will require some patience and extensions, especially the passenger side. [:@]
Once you get the old one out, the new one will go in like butter. Take all your o2 sensors out of the old H pipe and put them in the new one, and then basically bolt it up.
Tools: 2 foot extension, swivel joint, 13mm and 15mm socket, an open end wrench for the 02 sensors (7/8 I think), PB Blaster. If you werent 16 then I would tell you to get a 12 pack of beer too.
Just have patience man, like I said the pass. side will be a royal pain.
