Ok I have the 07 2.2 and I put the ss catback and dp on. The stock dp had an 02 sensor in the front of the cat and after the cat. total = two 02 sensors. The ss dp only had one 02 sensor after the cat. I hooked everything up and hooked the sensor to teh stock clip for the back 02 sensor. I drove the car around for about 10 min or so and no cel. what should i do about the other connector and will this screw up my car if left like it is?

 

get another bung welded in the downpipe asap..

 

What will happen if i dont?

 

i believe the o2 you dont have in does something with afr's.

 

it will most likely just make your car run a lil lean or rich cuz its not gettin a real accurate a/f readin.. shouldnt be to bad though..

 

Could this take awhile for the cel to click on, and will it affect gas milage

 

if you do not have your pre-cat o2 sensor in....you car will go into limp mode. You will probably run rich and have shitty gas mileage. And yes, your CEL will come on

 

thanks seems like this idea of putting the ss exhaust in my car is getting a bit more money than first thought and doesnt sound that good

 

I suppose you could find someone selling a 2.0 exhaust manifold and put that on there.....not sure if that would work out for you or not

I actually have my stock one laying around if you'd be interested, pm me

 

Do not be an idiot and drive like this...

 

the first o2 sensor is what the car uses for closed loop. That means it stays at a 14.7:1 AFR. If it doesnt have that o2 sensor it will not be able to do that. You will get a CEL the 2nd time you turn the car on.

 

Well just letting everyone know I have the dp in the shop getting a bung welded in, and when I was taking the dp off two out of the three studs on the header broke so that is at the muffler shop as well getting fixed. Going to cost me around 65$ but I will be able to run the ss dp w/out a problem

 

so how much total have u invested into your exhaust? because i am interested in putting the SS exhausted on my 2.2

 

bought the dp for 75 and the catback came with other things in a package like cai and sttrut bar so idk how to split that, and counting the mess up that cost me 60 bucks to fix

I would say grand total 200

P.S the dp was brand new and the catback was less than a year old. Both in very good condition.

 

well **** thats pennies haha that not bad at all

 

I went out for a cruise last night and the deep tone with the whole ss exhaust is really nice. I am starting to get use to it.
