My girlfriend's father owns a body shop, and a race shop, I get what I need, how I need, when I need, for what price I need. But here is the question, I want him to run straight pipe off of my header, so I won't have a cat, how big of pipe should I run, where can I relocate or bypass my O2 censor, and what kinda muffler should I get so I do not sound like a damn helicopter.

Thanks

I am chopping mycat off and making a straight through, soon, but, I want to know, is there a product I can purchase, or a place to relocate my o2 sensor so I so not throw a CEL

Well, if your G/F's father owns a body shop and a race shop, and you get what you want when you want it, you would easily know the answer. But, i am gracious enough to tell you anyhow. Keep it in the stock location, but with the new straight pipe, drill a hole in the pipe approximatley where the old o2 was, and weld in an O2 bung where the new hole is. It shouldn't set a code if it is OBD1 due to the fact that it is not monitering the cats deterioration, but only the exhaust mixture. The stock O2 is in front of the cat anyhow. If your g/f's father does any kind of racing, he would know this, though you may have not asked him yet. But i would ask him questions before i would ask half of the ppl in here if he has real experience. And by the way, its not a good idea to come in here sounding like an arrogent asshole and then expect to get answers. consider yourself lucky. I am not condoning removing your cat, as doing so will pollute the atmosphere, as well as causing your car not to pass any kind of emissions inspection, as well as making you car annoyingly loud. After you put on a resonator and a big muffler to keep the sound tolerable, you will have essentially created the same amount of backpressure as a highflow cat with a nice free flowing catback exhaust would. but whatever. I would only do a straight pipe exhaust system if it were a strictly racing car, then i probably wouldn't put a muffler on it either.

It is like this, I am not having him do it anymore, because he recently made my "people I do not like" list. He doesn't know his shit about cars with computers. Here in Michigan we don't test for emissions...yet.

whoa whoa whoa, i just read your new profile, where in the hell do you get 195 at the crank from, with those mods, you are getting 5 from CAI, 5 from header, 4 from exhaust and nothing from the MSD. All those numbers are at best too. At most you are making 175HP at the crank and 145HP at the wheels. not tring to sound like a dick, but i would change that or no one is gonig to take you seriously. I hope you dont tell ppl that when they ask you how much power you are making.

[ImSoYesterday]

Well, according to the guys with the "dynojet engine dyno" i have 195.

[Privatebigandrew]

do you know what dynojet is, it is a computer program designed to guess what HP would be with certain mods. There are so many factors that it leaves out that there is no way it is accurate. go to http://www.importreview.com/d_1.6.html for some real graphs on what a similar car to your setup is producing. For A b16 there is about a 17% HP lose to the wheels from the engine....

[Ace$nyper]

the day a only semi bolted on b16a makes 195 ....

you'd be lucky to see 145 at the wheels
MSD does nadda you dont have full intake or exhaust and dc header is meh at best.

[Privatebigandrew]

Thank you, someone who understands....

[Juicy05]

man 195 with no stickers? DAMN

[Privatebigandrew]

yeah, i mean, he needs at least an APC sticker to get those kinda numbers Just kidding man.

I fgot the SS, the GTR, the POWERED BY VTEC and, VTEC TUNED sticker. that was at least 2,000 horsepower..... (I want people to push me down if I ever have those)
