you will get a CEL with a high flow cat though, so you'll need an o2 defouler as well. This is the cheapest and best replacement.

Is there such a thing as an o2 plug out there? I ordered the zzp downpipe and high flow cat, but i have an o2 sensor before and after the cat (06 s/c). The problem is one of the sensor is in the headers so now i have an extra hole i cant plug on the downpipe. How do you get around this?
