i've installed long tubes on my 2001 gt and the car has a problem switching into "closed" circut. i think it could have to do with the fact that the air is cooler when it reaches the o2 sensor because the sensor itself is further away than before. doesn anyone have any thoughts or know of any solutions?

I installed my exhaust in May (see sig) and had no problems.

I started throwing codes in October and took it to a friendly dealership (good luck finding one for yourself!).

The car had about 34k miles on it and they replaced the front 2 02 sensors and the IAC.

The problem went away and the car has been fine since.
