Well me and my friend attempted to put the MAC prochamber on my 00 GT and we had a little dilemna gettin one of the bolts off of the stock h pipe, to make a long story short, I had to drive my car about a total of 6 miles with the hpipe just hanging there, all the bolts had been loosened. The car sounded and smelled absolutely horrible it sounded like an old beater pickup x 10. My question to u guys is, since the computer monitors my exhaust flow, backpressure, fuel etc., will this mess up my computer in any way? Will i loose any power from drivin around like this for a little while? The prochamber is goin on tonight and hopefully everything will be normal and ill notice an increase in power. thanks

Just disconnect your battery while you're installing your exhaust. This'll reset your computer. I'm betting you'll be fine.

sorry to hear about your trouble.. I don't think that it will hurt anything at all computer wise. But if there was some air that was sucked into the valve due to the open pipes, then that could be the potential to the problem that you have with the engine later on..

I don't think it really would have messed anything up for that short amount of time. You should be good to go.
