what he said ^^^

also been over 1500miles no SES cars still runs fine. Spoke to Shawn at VF and the software should NOT conflict with the sim. So hopefully my kit will arrive soon

Can someone please please show me better a pic of Step 9 that says "IMPORTANT CUT the black wiresfrom the o2 sensor and solder the White wire from the 02sim to harness side!" this the part that I get lost and the picture is kinda blurry. What do you do with the other end of the black wire?? can someone please post a detailed pic. I been having my o2 sim for days, but I am afraid to start the process.

Wait, should? Or should not conflict with the simulator?

Are you putting on a blower?

I think this is the first positive bit of info I have read that might enable me to get away with headers in California. I just need to find a way to pass the sniffer test now...

aggieE46 · 05-06-2009, 06:47 PM

G2P! Available at most auto parts stores.

Or, just have cats welded in down the line. Most high flow cats won't restrict enough that you'll notice any loss in power.

I'm thinking just have some flanges so I can bolt in some huge catalytic converter for smog test days, and carefully drive down to the emissions inspection place and hopefully not scrape it on anything, and then bolt a straight pipe back in when I get home.
