ok first i did my smog check 5 months ago and 2 months from now i have to renew my registration.. and thanks to the laws in cali i have to get another smog check, and after that i have to get a smog check in 2 years..
so, i decided to get some LTs,
my choice in headers is pacesetter,
my question is.. do i have to get new o2 sensors?
i knw i have to dele the bk o2 sensors.. but for the other 2 do i have to buy new ones or i can use the old ones??
im thinkin bout doin cat delete or probably get some high flow cats. im not sure bout that yet..
another thing. the gas mialege will be better or it will drop?
its a daily driver..

im a get ls6 intake and the LTs, EGR delete and the air pump delete.

o2 extensions, or get something like the bosch13111's that have enough length to reach on there own. 2 things I like about my highflows is they cleaned up some of the smell and cleaned up my exhaust tone. I gained almost 2mpg's with headers and the other bolt-ons.
Current hp is 338hp 355tq through an a4, 50hp gain over stock with all the bolt-ons

**98maro** · 12-03-2010, 11:47 PM

if i can use my old o2 sensors..im just gonna get the extentions,
i think im a put some high flow cats... cuz im gettin a cutout anyway,,

i was looking at the cats on ebay some for $50 dollars but i cant buy them cuz im in cali,, they are ilegal here,,

**c5z28** · 12-03-2010, 11:51 PM

Yah I bought mine a couple days before new years since I knew they would be. I'm sure if you say it's for off road use there isn't a lot they will say about it. Say they are for a 55 chevy

**98maro** · 12-03-2010, 11:59 PM

hahaha thanks bro you just gave an idea lol
ill tell them its for a 73 camaro lol

where did you get your car tuned??
i want to take mine to the dyno b4 i start mods.. its all stock for now

**c5z28** · 12-04-2010, 12:05 AM

Newtech, but I would look up threads on bay area tuners and see who you want to go with. Most places don't have the time to just dyno someone's car. You might try these guys though. They are new so they might and try and work with you a bit more than those already established.

I'd save the money but I know how you feel.

**98maro** · 12-04-2010, 12:13 AM

thats in hayward right??
theres a place in campbell
i get emails from them saying 3 runs for 50 dollars idk if thats true,,

the thing is that i want to get it tuned when im done with everithing..
cuz im planning to get 243s and a cam, after the LTs and the ls6 intake..

**c5z28** · 12-04-2010, 12:16 AM

Yep, and you mean tps in Campbell correct? Search on tech about the different tuners, seems to be a heated topic in our region.

**98maro** · 12-04-2010, 12:22 AM

yes the TPS but the prices they have on parts is hella high...
im a keep lookin around for some tuners..
or ill just send the pcm to one of the sponsors here..
i have to buy a 2nd pcm just in case..

**RyanJM** · 12-04-2010, 01:22 AM

I wouldn't bother with 02 ext's just het the longer Vette sensors which someone already posted the part# for. They'll be new so you won't have to sorry about them going out on you a month later. Also.and ext is just one extra issue to deal with.

**98maro** · 12-04-2010, 09:07 PM

true that... gettin new o2s i dnt have to worry bout that on the future..
so any ls1 vette o2 sensors will work?

i was looking at the pacesetter black headers what you guys think bout them?
they are less than $300.. but u guys think the paint will come off??

**c5z28** · 12-04-2010, 10:03 PM

Paint will come off, the o2 sensors I listed are long enough out of the box you don't need extensions. If you want cheap get the ebay headers.

**98maro** · 12-04-2010, 11:36 PM

Thanks bro.
What eBay headers could be option ?
Most of the cheap headers are stainless steal. But I have heard is not good idea to get stainless steal.
And ceramic ones goes for almost 500

**c5z28** · 12-04-2010, 11:57 PM

Stainless are the expensive ones. They will outlast painted and ceramic. Look at the stickies in this section, they have the brands listed including the ebay ones. Haven't heard any bad reviews on the ebays.

**98maro** · 12-05-2010, 01:33 AM

Ok thanks I'm a take a look at the sticky.
Other headers I was lookin at are the obx. And se other brand. They go for bout $250

I have OBX headers, watch out for the steering shaft and header pipe. You may need to dent in the header pipe and run poly engine mounts.

I had to on my camaro.

**98maro** · 12-07-2010, 02:49 PM

I kinda dnt wanna deal with fitment problems
I think I'm just gonna get the blk pacesetter

**INMY01TA** · 12-07-2010, 04:12 PM

If I were in Cali I prolly wouldn't delete my air pump/EGR. I use 02 exstensions and they work fine with my original 2001 02 sensors. No mods I've ever done increased my gas milaege. Bone stock it averaged 23mpgs, now gets about 16.
