Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
When I left school today my car sounded alittle funny, kinda cool but not normal. I was assuming that my downpipe might have come unbolted on one side and was hanging down....but I never expected this!
  Anybody seen something like this? Anybody have a 3" O2 for sale?

Re: Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
That is rather interesting... I do believe the weight of your exhaust is being supported too much by the o2 housing... Just a guess though. lol

Re: Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
I bet ya it was running a bit too hot and then the cold weather nailed it when the car was shut off and thats what did it... At least it was damn cold here in Ohio today. 46.... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Re: Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
I doubt it was the temp change. That thing sees extreme temps all the time. Is your exhaust hanging like it should?

Re: Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
yup, sure is...I just got done taking off the downpipe and the o2 housing (which was cracked into two pieces).
I was at LSE and got a new one (260.00) but it has the wrong flange on it. anyone know where to get one? 260 just seems too spendy...

Re: Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
Damn man, that sucks. Probably sounded nice and deep throaty haha. My 1st guess would be no hanger/support on the downpipe but you sed its all fine under there. Weird...

Re: Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
How long have you been using it? I would imagine the exhaust is hot as hell coming straight out of the turbo and that non cast 02 housing cant take it as well as a cast one can.

Re: Holy sh*t O2 housing GONE??
Something similar happend to me a while back...when I took my down pipe off the hangar right next to the O2 housing broke off and took a huge chunk of the exhaust off....not sure how it happened....but that sucks man....guess its time for an upgrade...
