You might pop a CEL for the second 02, but no worries until you get tuned. Then you can have the code masked.

You'll probably feel it on the butt dyno, but I don't think it'll be amazing or anything

Consensus is that there is no need for a tune with the DP. Once your learndown kicks in, you won't feel much difference. There's definitely a difference in sound, though.

It depends on what code it is. If it's for the rear o2 it should'nt be a big deal.

If it's catless, you are definitely going to get the cat efficiency code.

Getting a code from the rear o2 should'nt be bad. It's telling you that the cat is not functioning properly or in most cases, not there.

Get a tune, it makes a BIG difference if you are tuned for a dp.

It's fine. You're just going to get the cat inefficiency code because there is no cat. You need to get that tuned out or use a couple of defoulers.

yeah its not too bad, helps with 2 people. put the car up on jacks w/ safety precautions. unbolts, but you have to be VERY careful of the o2 wires, they can get messed up easy and cause a cel. also helps with a o2 sensor wrench. and put antisieze on the o2 sensor going back in. not much though.
