I have a 2006 ss/sc that is getting the TVS makeover this weekend (pending this wideband being installed). My only concern is that the sensor is supposed to be 18 - 24inchs from the heat source (exhaust ports) but also supposed to be before the cat. I have stock exhaust manifold and stock dp with cat, and it seems like there is not enough space from the heat source to put the sensor in. or would i be ok putting right in front of the cat, like almost touching the cat? i know i know, i need a header and dp, but funds wont allow it at this point. its a work in progress so i will eventually get a header/dp combo but it will take a few months. thanks for the help fellas!

 

That should be okay

 

thanks man. also, any reccommendations for headers / dp combo that won't break the bank?

 

badmab header and 2.5 zzp catless downpipe

 

ah, that's the only bad part of it, i gotta have a cat for emissions here. every time i go they check under my car to make sure it's there cause of the muffler i have on.

 

I'm running the Vibrant Header dp combo. I love it.

Or just say FUHHHHHUUUUU and get zzp's longtubes.

 

for my budget that bad mab / zzp 2.5 dp combo seems good. thanks a lot guys!

 

Go 3" DP

 

Get the catted version and punch the cat out if youre worried about passing visual.

 

ahh, good call. i got the ok to put the header on the credit card, so the header shipped this afternoon. one thing at a time though. itll take a while to get the down pipe. i can't decide, downpipe or meth injection? neither will happen til late july or august at the earliest though.

 

Damn, see if you can get the okay to charge one more thing on the credit card and get my GLI tuned at goodspeed performance out here in Arizona

 

Meth injection will need a 250$-350$ tune along with it. The header and DP should be but it isnt needed as much as the meth.

good try

 

 

ha, good try slowbalt. and yeah i know i would need a tune to go with the meth so that won't be for a while. if only things were less expensive

 

I totally understand what you mean here, Its like 700.00 dollars to get my GLI tuned and it only cost me 250.00 to get the cobalt tuned

 

holy crap! what the hell makes it so much more expensive? that's kinda outrageous just for a tune.

 

Yep I know thats what I said when I looked into the tune
