ODD question of the day....help please!!!!
So I have a ZZP midlength header and downpipe with the Magnaflow cat, and the Magnaflow catback bolt on exhaust.
Now when I first installed everything it sounded nice with a deeper tone and no raspy, fart-can sound.
However, once I put my wideband O2 sensor in where the extra bung is in front of the cat after the 1st O2 sensor off the car...my exhaust now sounds like a raspy, fart-can when under medium to full acceleration.
What would cause this? Is it the wideband O2 sensor? And is there anyway to fix it??
Please help me get rid of my fart-can sound.

Hmmm........maybe. I tried tightening the wideband O2 sensor but I can't get anymore on it.
Click on "Clip 1", it should be closer to that sound then what I have now:

You may want to get under there and retighten the header and header/dp bolts. Over time, they may have gotten a little loose after break in, and the gaskets may not be mating up quite as tightly.

thats probably your problem. the washers they send out are aluminum. here is what they look like after a month or so:
Go out under the car if you can, feel around (when the car is cold
) and see if you can feel the washers. If they are like this you should be able to feel that.
If they are, go out and buy 1/2" grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers and replace the crap they sent ya.
