I have researched this and just like alot of other things on the net, you get the "my brother's friend's hairdress's cousin had problems....." :woot:

So has anyone had first hand problems with them damaging the computer or anything else? I am thinking of going with an X-pipe but this is a question that is holding me back from doing it. Thanks for the help

No, they dont do any damage, they just tell the car that the cats are working and it runs a tiny bit richer.

Yes you will need MIL eliminators. I put a BBK O/R H-pipe on my Cobra and got the light, had to order a set of MIL eliminators. Dont buy from ebay, I did and they suck. Got them from Steeda and they work great.

If you plan to get a handheld tuner down the road some day save the money on the mils and just buy the tuner and turn the O2's off with it.

lazerred02, I have the Diablo handheld. I believe it is one of the function that I can do with it . So you are saying that I can do that to turn off the rear O2 sensors and it will owrk the same as the Mil eliminators?

That's exactly what he means, and also down the road the programmer will defintely come in handy if you get gears or different tire sizes or you dont like turning off the traction control button.

if youing offroad bbk, get two sets of the bbk mil eliminators... one didnt stretch long enough and i had to buy a second kit.... on my catted bbk x pipe, i only neded one of the extensions, so i took one set back....hope that helps... if you are going off road, i reccomend not using flow masters... they sound like butt hole with the bbk O/R x.


and off road will smel HORRIBLE even with a good tune... if you sit at red lights with the windows down, the stench will get back into the car and make you smel like youre driving an 82 s10...

Dont know how Flows sound with x-pipes but with the H-pipe they sound killer. I have never smelled anything in traffic or at a red light but when the car is cold and in the garrage it stinks of richness.

As for the Mil Elim. depending on the year make sure you put them in the rear sensors NOT THE FRONT (yes I feel dumb)
