    it just means that if you plan on doing long tubes and delete the air and egr system that it wont throw a code. it should still pass emissions but i am not sure, it wont have the dtc stored so it should be good. also Frosts tuning will really wake those painted calipers up

    Dont forget Greddy stickers down the side panel and huge aluminum spoiler do long tube headers eliminate the o2 sensors? is there an advantage to long tubes?
    Cause headers and y pipe is is in the next couple steps for me.

    Deleting the AIR and EGR is just removing the SES codes it would pull. If its still on the car and functioning, I can't see why you would not pass an OBDII test.

    Long tubes eliminate the rear 02 sensors, you will still have the front 02 sensors though. Without the rear 02 sensors in place, you will pull a check engine code until you have the codes deleted. It will not affect performance adversely though.

    The biggest advantage to long tubes is when you add a cam and other mods. By adding mid length or long tube headers, people generally see 15-20 RWHP gains. Now if you added a cam with mid length headers, you might pick up 25 HP with the cam where as you would have gained 35-40 HP with a cam and long tubes. Long tubes allow you to expand more than mid lengths do.

    If he deletes the rear two O2 codes you will pass OBDII emissions. Deleting the O2s (I think) sets them both to a preset value (constant) so that the computer is fooled into thinking they are still there, and working properly. Thus this is why you won't get a SES light.

    Your stock y-pipe won't work with long tubes. You will have to get an ORY or a catted ypipe to work with long tubes.

    35th answered the part about the rear 02 codes above me.

    do not keep the stock y-pipe. if you've ever been under the car im sure uv noticed the oval(flat) pipe on the driver's side of the y-pipe. that hurts flow so badly.
    stock y-pipe=slow
