    Need help!

    I installed my long tube headers and everything went smooth; except when I went to plug the O2 sensor extensions in. The extension wouldn't fit in the O2sensors on either ends. So I modify the extension's plug to fit the O2 sensor. Well it went together and there was no Serivce engine soon . I drove it for an hour and parked it. An hour later I started the car and now the light is on. I made sure the extensions were plug in and the light was still on. I sanned the computer and 3 codes came up. No O2 sensor activity and a lean exhaust. Whats the next step?

    Car runs good. The car really moves after 3000 rpm. Will I hurt my car running a lean exhaust.

    No u won't hurt it, u'll just have the light on until u get a tune....Dyno tune is aroung $400-$500 and yes it will make a difference in the way ur car runs performance wise

    Ok, thanks. I was a little worried about driving my car hard. What a difference of a full exhaust system does. Makes me want to mod more and more.
