Bump come on guys what do you think I should do?
I like that set up. I was wondering if I wanted to get high flow cats or run not cats but that's better. I called but his wife said he'll call me back this evening when gets back from work. I'm ready to jump in the wife's cobalt and make the four hour trip for them!I think for $175, you should get them, have 2.25" cat elimination pipes welded on after the collector, then buy Berk's B Pipes to replace your OEM B pipes... You will be set for performance and have no SES...
Hey DRTY with me being an 08 and I don't know if this really matters, but where do I relocate the O2 sensors adding these short tube headers. I noticed you said run 2.25" cat elimination pipes(or high flow cats). Do the O2 sensors move near the b pipes, since there will be cats in them?I think for $175, you should get them, have 2.25" cat elimination pipes welded on after the collector, then buy Berk's B Pipes to replace your OEM B pipes...

I'm new to this so how or where do I find the cat elimination pipes? I've found high flow cats. No cat elimination though. Probably will go with some new bpipes if the wife doesn't kill me first. I see that Fontana group buy still has some berk b pipes left and may look into those instead of high flows and eliminate the front cats.The forward O2's stay in stock location in the JBA headers. If you run 2.25" cat elimination pipes on the headers, you'll need to relocate the rear O2's behind the remaining secondary cats. Unless you get Berk B Pipes, which are already set up with rear mounted O2 bungs. Easiest way to keep your OEM B Pipes and still have the rear O2 sensors is just get a short bolt plug to screw into the OEM O2 bungs, and have a shop weld in new O2 bungs 2" behind the rear cats where they straiten out with the pipe. The key is to either have the new bungs welded in at a 20-45* angle on the interior side so the O2 bung will be clear of any undercarriage obstructions and the OEM harness will still reach after you remove the harness retention clips between the snap and sensor, the just zip tie the harness to keep it secured...
Thanks brother. Yeah I'm pretty excited! I wonder how much I'll gain off going catless. Thanks again.PM'd you my "what I would do..." make sure you get some videos, I want to hear that beast SCREAM!!! after it's been tuned...![]()
I really, really believe that you will gain almost as much as LT's with the shorties and going catless. The cats are the most restrictive thing in the exhaust flow. W/out them your going to gain a ton of hp/tq. Plus your getting a great exhaust set-up! Hey don't forget to take your laptop and clear learned fuel before driving it. That way when you log your getting brand new info instead of the learned fuel before the headers. Did you ever get your cipher performance logging fixed?Thanks brother. Yeah I'm pretty excited!

Nope. I'm sucking right now. I don't know what's up with it. I'm even switching between two laptops and a netbook. It still won't let me performance log. I've even updated all of their software. It's just not meant to be for me to do performance logs lol. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow!!!!!I really, really believe that you will gain almost as much as LT's with the shorties and going catless.
