If I should get an off road x-pipe, where would the o2 sensors go?

They go in the same locations as the stock one, you just have to either get MIL's or if you have the dibalo tuner you can turn them off. but you will need to do one or the other, your choice.

AHH!...I started thinking of possible things it could mean. Off Road, right? Well, my wife's kind of a tree hugger...need them cats. LOL
haha, i love that quote. I've read somewhere (forget where, it was reputable though) that if testing is going to be a problem, just get the high flow catted pipe, because it's a very minimal difference between the off-road version. A couple HP.

Actually, the more I think about it, I could confuse the crap out of her by saying that MIL eliminators function the same way, and then start babbling random car words like "camshaft" and "ported injection" and she'll never know....hehehehe....

One thing, though: Will the exhaust fumes from the tail pipe be visible? That would kind of kill the illusion...

I doubt visible, but im sure very noticable by the nose. Honestly, i'd just get the cats to be safe. Helping your wife here, the environment really doesn't need any added pollution, it's bad enough as it is.

PS: I'm not a tree hugger persay, i just like to keep our air clean

ARGH! You sonofabitch! I had just clicked "Buy It Now" on an off road x-pipe on ebay...luckily, I didn't commit to buy. So, maybe you're right...cats are necesary...I will research the issue a little longer...Thanks, man! (goddamnbadtiming...)
