the ecu has to see a delta b/w the front and rear sensors or else it will throw a code.

With all this talk of Downpipes lately, it seems there is a lot of confusion... - ryans4 2002-03-11 14:59:13 (11305 views)

That means the main cats are replaced too right? If not, then I don't buy it - Audiboy 2002-03-12 10:43:44 (622 views)

Downpipes include main cats.... - Kent L 2002-03-12 10:46:43 (738 views)

no... the cat is in between the 2 O² sensors so they can take before & after readings - LosGatosS4 2002-03-11 16:30:58 (829 views)

Stock cats are ceramic (main), metal (pre), and I *think* a tad less than 2.25" - LCP 2002-03-11 15:39:06 (676 views)

From their website... - Kent L 2002-03-11 15:52:09 (585 views)

Interesting...my thoughts are... - ryans4 2002-03-11 15:47:02 (613 views)

This is the problem I had with the Milteks. - Chaka 2002-03-11 15:52:53 (856 views)

The ecu has no idea what the cats flow it's looking for a O2 delta - Eric Fletcher 2002-03-11 16:00:53 (639 views)
