Off road H- pipe,,oxygen sensor??

[willys1]

I want to get an H-pipe without cats,but my mechanic says the check engine light will be stuck on,because the H-pipe wont have a hook up for the oxygen sensor.How do you guys get around this?????

what year is your car and what motor . i have a 92 gt with off road h pipe and have no problems at all.

 

[88stangmangt]

your mechanic is smokeing crack the have o2 bungs welded in. if it is 94 or later i think they have 4 o2's but you would have to get simulator's. but all of the h-pipe's i have ever had have had bungs on them.

Theres a hook up for your O2 sensors on an off road H-pipe. My car is a 88 and dosent even have a check engine light.

It will sound awesome when you change the stocker to a O/R h-pipe.

 

[88stangmangt]

**** for the rear o2's because it will trip sensors due to the fact the exhaust gases readings from the rear's are the same as the front's.**********

Most O/R H pipes have O2 bungs in them. I buddy of mine even had a smog pump tube for his, even though it didn't have cats. You need the sensors for a computer controlled car, or not only will the check engine light be on, but it will run rich and run like crap.

on 94 newer you will need to buy MIL eliminator. they are 60 buck from steeda.

96+.

94-95 still had eec4 and only 2 o2 by the manifolds

Its a 93lx,I never looked myself,I just took his word for it that the stock h-pipe has an electrical hook up,and the off road doesnt! But are you saying the off road has a electrical hook up for the sensor???

 

[StonysGT]

i bought an off road from summit. it was a pacesetter and only cost like 120 and it works perfectly fine it had the o2 spouts and a smog pump connector pipe. never had a problem. ive had mine on for 2 years now.

 

[schoonover_88]

Yes, the o/r H-pipe has the places for the sensors. Your mechanic is a crack monkey!

 

[StonysGT]

no kidding tell you mechanic he needs to pull his head out of his ars. i cant believe a real mechanic would tell you that. he must not like mustangs.

My car is a 93 LX 5.0 I put a mac off road h pipe on it and it works fine. There is bungs welded in the h pipe all you have to do is screw in the o2 senors and plug them in.

If you have a jack, jack stands, basic tools and a little patience you could do it yourself. Heck, with the money you save on labor your could buy a jack and stands even. Half the fun of having a mustang is doing your own modifications IMO.
