Try this;



Sorry, I forgot. If it was going to blow a code, 90% of the cars on this site would have it.

Re: U-Bend Help

my local shop charged me $40. I did also have to explain what it was and where it was. He was amazed that it netted 5hp and 2 mpg gains.

Re: U-Bend Help

is it true about the check engine light though?

all it is is a straight pipe welded to the cat and the muffler with a spot for the O2 sensor right?

If you remove the U-bend and replace with just a straight pipe you will throw and SES code.
You should only get a code if you don't replace the O2 sensor.

Most A.M. U-bends

Will have a place for the O2 sensor to be mounted on the side.

Hope this helps.
