Default LGM Header install code UPDATE

It seems that the misfire code (P0300) was a result of my having the O2 sensors in the wrong sides. I re-installed them as I took them out but this is not correct. The driver side has to go to the driver side and pass. side......
It was a PITA as the clearance from the top of the sensor just about touches the under tray. So took it out for a ride and all is well and it sounds great and the SOTP meter says definitely more power & torque :D
I did the whole install by myself and well, it was a pretty intensive job! Some notes though that don't go along directly with some other things I have read are: passenger side from the top and you do not need to un-bolt the starter.
I also had to put the drivers side in from the top as I did this on jack stands, so I had to take out the alternator to make way. I probably have 14 hours total on this project so I am on my way to go enjoy it!! :cheers:

Let me add a big thanx to Lou and the guys at LGM as they fielded no less than 3-4 phone calls from me during this!! :cheers:

You are a better man than I. I had them installed last week and have the same Magnaflow system. They make beautiful music. :thumbs: Good luck.

I did the same thing with my install last week.

I called LGM and they got Lou on the phone with me in on minute. Now that is good customer service.

The problem cleared up once I switched the 02's. What a difference.

The sound with the off road and my stock TI exhuast is perfect. Quiet at idle and awesome at WOT.

Thanks Lou.
