Looking to get a zzp downpipe for my christmas present from my woman. Now im just wondering if i should get the angled bung or not. I know it prevents the check engine light which is nice since i probably wont be tuned until february. My question is will it mess up any of my readings when im getting tuned?

 

man, I have been out of the loop for a long time, only $180 for a downpipe is a lot less than what I remember...very tempting

 

No, you'll be fine. The secondary O2 is just there to make sure there is a difference in the exhaust gasses from the primary O2 sensor. Definitely get the angled one.

 

Yea man, get the angled O2 bung. Like they said, for $180 bucks, you can't beat it. Not sure if you can go cat-less in your area due to emissions checks, but if you can, I recommend it. Great sound and additional performance gain over a catted pipe.

 

Thanks everyone. Im for sure going catless since i have a connection that will pass me with it.

One more things should i get new gaskets or can i re use the old ones?

 

I reused the old ones without a problem

 

Why get angled if you are gonna be tuned anyways?

 

why not? especially if your going to not get tuned for a bit... the hardest part about install is getting the top bolt on the back off... effin' cat is in the way.

 

I dunno, save $30 bucks and get a regular o2 bung?

 

If that one is 180..then why is the ecotec downpipe 400? Is that for a turbo upgrade only?

 

Yeah it is.

 

With the angled one it won't have to be tuned out. One less thing to worry about.

I went the Bad Mab + Vibrant extended O2 bung route and never threw a code. Didn't get tuned for almost 2 mos after.

 

i have the angled one and my check engine light comes on every 2 weeks. I keep deleting the code. i emailed zzp 2 times and never got a response. If i knew this was gonna happen, i would have just gone catless.

 

you have a catted down pipe and paid for the angled bung?

 

yes cause i didnt want to deal with having a check engine light cause i'm not gonna get a tune and void my powertrain warranty.
