Hey guys, I just got this 2000 GT. The engine light is on. It has BBK Long headers, no cats. The engine light code says some thing about O2 sensors.
Is it as simple as replacing the O2 sensors or is there more to it?? Someone told me I had to tune my headers...what does that mean?
Thanks
Bill

you need to get MIL Eliminators, or a midpipe with cats. the code is tripped because rear O2 sensors moniter the catalytic converter efficiency. when the cats are removed, the rear O2's read different and the code is tripped.
