Theres a 02-04 GT that I see around town alot and when we see each other we nail it for a second to let each other hear our exhaust but we never really race. Anyway, I saw him just now when i was getting money out of the ATM. I got my cash and pulled out of the parking lot, he must have been waiting for me cause I caught up quick.

Now before I tell you about this guy, you need to know what his car looks like. Black '02-04 GT, 3 in cowl hood. 6-spoke 17x9 in black rims (claims they cost $1600 for just the rims), a big Cobra spoiler. But thats not bad, here is where it gets interesting. He had S281 side emblems, a Cobra front emblem, and on the back are a S281 and a Poilce Interceptor emblem.

We pulled over in the McDonalds parking lot and I asked him what kind of exhaust he had cause it sounded GREAT. He said its a Borla with no cats. I asked him how it runs w/o cats and he said he took the oxygen "senders" off..... I asked him again just to be sure. Yep, he said oxygen senders. I just nodded, grinned, and said yep. These were his exact words. "I cut off my oxygen senders off so it frees up a little more power and my engine light dosent even come on."


I seriously almost started laughing in this guys face, but i didnt want to look like a dick. He has a VERY nice car, but he need to learn his ****. lol

He probably means he put O2 sims on, just didn't quite know what he was talking about, since he didn't do the work himself.

I think you meant to say that he has a very nice car, OTHER than the fact that he needs to weld his oxygen senders back on.

I guess you could always suggest he change the blinker fluid or lube the muffler bearings to free up a few more ponies.

Don't forget about putting summer air in the tires, its a free mod that alot of people overlook. That and making sure the clutch disk is properly lubricated should shave a few 10ths off.

I dont have oxygen senders either - they dont do anything. The sensors on the other hand are quite important for A/F trim.

As everyone knows, the second set of O2s (OBD-II cars) is to monitor catalyst efficiency. THe MIL elim's shouldnt have freed up any power anyhow.

I gotta say that I dont like mod motors, but some sure take to a free flowing exhaust system - they have a burble-pitch that I dont hear on 5.0's.
