3" Downpipes
« on: October 05, 2011, 08:28:01 pm »
Are they supposed to have two sensor holes, thought I read the rear one is coded out? Do I assume you still fit it...

There's one by the flange and one after the cat...

Cheers,

I think mine was still fitted with the De - cat (couldnt have it coded out here in Germany though) Burnt my sensor out by not having it coded out I think

Perhaps its coincidence

All the downpipes I have seen (sport cat types anyway) have had holes for both pre and post cat O2 sensors, stage 2 software will right the rear one out of the equation.  But I have it on good authority that certain manufacturers' sport cats are so good, they won't throw up a CEL.  :innocent:
