TPIS Header install [part 5]
Its done :D I started working on it last Friday, finished it This past Thurday and went to the track yesterday. If I knew how to link a thread to my track results I would. Take a look in the drag racing section.

Looks nice!
I didnt keep up on the other threads.... was the X-Brace a problem?
How do you like those band/clamps?
Nice to see the upstep in 1/4 times!
Hope my header install goes well :D

I forget if someone already mentioned, but you should switch that oxy sensor to a 3 wire. You can buy a universal Bosch one for around $35. If you still have a cat and factory cat-back you might be able to get away with the single wire.

A heated O2 sensor cured that problem.

Re: TPIS Header install [part 5] (Ramrod92)
Ramrod. how did you link that thread? and how did you get the thread #?
I'll will definetly look into the heated O2 sensor. I don't know too much about it so I'll do some searchin'
The x-brace went right on. In fact because I could no longer use the OEM clamp/bracket that held the main cat in place the x-brace took cat of that. There is no exhaust rattling/vibrations ETC.
The band clamps came with the headers and seem to be working just fine.

Black85: So get a heated? $35 for them? do I have to run more wires then?
I am very close to being done with my harness (ripping the useless poopie out, and rewrapping it all nicely).
I am going to be running LPE headers on my motor and need an o2 anyways...
Thanks
Matt

Actually it is not hard at all. Highlight the address, then right click on it, the slew down to copy and left click. When you open the reply there are options at the bottom, click on URL, then inter the adress between the two sets of brackets. :cheers:

Re: TPIS Header install [part 5] (chucks88)
Chuck, very nice pics; how close is the oil filter to that left side pipe?
With that new TC, what RPM did you launch at; was it the same as with the old setup?
BTW, congrats on those nice gains.

Re: TPIS Header install [part 5] (65Z01)
The oil filter is about an inch away. As far as launching went, my first two runs were at about 1200 my last three were at about 1700. I think I'm going to stick with the 1700 range for a while and play with that.

One of the other of the three wires goes to a good ground and the third wire is spliced into the existing O2 sensor wire.
That's all there is to it.
Hope this helps.

Re: TPIS Header install [part 5] (chucks88)
Chuck, thanks for the responses.
Sounds like a good idea to launch up there a little.
I was launching at 1,100rpm with the stock 1,500rpm TC; now launch at 1,700rpm with the 2,000rpm TC and it lowered my short time and ET.
