Vibrant 4-2-1 Header/Downpipe Combo

PenguinPIE and myself would like some input and people's experience from the Vibrant 4-2-1 Header/Downpipe setup on our 2.4L cars. I am just very curious on how it would perform for us, meaning would we greatly benefit from it and etc... And since Christmas is coming around this is the time for me to get it if everyone thinks it is a go-getter.

I have the Vibrant header and downpipe combo with the ARK N2 catback and love it. really good sound. after the header install the car sounded much deeper and more agressive.

It took me a few days to get a CEL and I did just because of the rear O2 sensor. But if you get the car tuned then you can have it turned off or in my case I just gapped it out of the exhaust a little bit. Cost me like 2 bucks and you'll be good to go.

yea i would probably go for the cel eliminator first. im not gunna get the rear o2 deleted if i dont have to plus i dont know if having the 02 sensor deleted would affect passing inspecting in new york state.

As far as I know it doesn't have any influence in passing inspection but I know what you mean as far as wanting to just leave it alone. I just went out and bought a spark plug non fouler with the same thread pattern and drilled it out to get the sensor in. Worked perfect.
