Havent looked to much into it as of yet. I know OEM can get me just the pipe, a route I may go. I was sure vibrant didnt make a cat back for us. Il double check but last time I remember looking on there site they only had systems for cobalts.

The engine bay it nearing completion. There are only a few things I need one of them being get a air filter, and I need o2 sensors. Front one is like 100 bucks and the second one is 220. I really dont want to spend damb near 400 for o2 sensors. You guys have any recomendations?

Looks awsome. Dont bother with the rear o2. Tune it out with HP tuners.

Can you elaborate on that a little please? I can tune with HP tuners and I dont need to have a rear o2? Is there benifates if I keep or dont use it?

All it does is sense if theres a cat or not.
You can eliminate the code from the PCM with HPT. Mine is gone and my car is NA.
This is great news, thank you!!!

you only really need 1 0/2 actually u dont need any but you have to have a wideband to tune with i put my wide band in palce of my bank 1 o2 near the motor at the down pipe and ust left my rear bank alone

Alright so I ordered my exhaust today, should be here on monday or tuesday. Just a few more welds and I can wrap up the exhaust project, which im very happy about. After that I just need to get me HP tuners software and a wideband and my car can come to life (fingers crossed).

How do you like those spun cats? Do they do enough to keep the rear O2 sensor happy?
Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

Im not going to be using the rear o2. I was kinda under the impression that I had to use it, hence using a cat. I already had it started/welded to the rear section so I said F it im just gonna run it. If I run into issues with it il straight pipe it there. I think it would be happy if I was running a rear o2 though, I had a magnaflow aftermarket cat on there and it seemed to work fine. No codes or anything

Not a whole lot to update, but I did get my wideband installed. Everything is finished up I just need hp tuners so I can do some tuning. She cranks over but I need to change my injector constant I think with hp tuners so it will run. Its just dumping a ton of fuel if we try to fire it up. Its got the green tops in there now. I dont think il get any software in the next couple weeks, prob gonna be mid november before I can afford it. May be down off the net for a bit as im in the middle of a move and wont be set up untill next week sometime. But I will have my own garage now and a house so im pretty stoked about that. No more rental garage and traveling accross the city to work on the car
The interior is getting a full make over this winter though.......
