not to hijack but how does exhaust get you a check engine light? it doesnt have any sensors in it.


as for reading a code, drive to nearest autozone if no one can help.

when talking about "exhaust" i mean a cat-back exhaust. lets say i buy a mangaflow cat-back and bolt it on to my car. no o2 are on the cut back itself (stuff that comes in the box) ... i know my car has 4 o2s i had to replace all of them...

post cat o2's are, technically, in the catback, and they are what peopel get o2 sims or code deletions for buddy. Actually you got a single cat or dual cat LT1? if you have a single then you have the exact same setup as i do, routing wise, and it's in the s-pipe. You kwnow hat that is right n00bula?
