installed O/R H pipe today...

[GTvert90]

Pretty sure I need to go back and seal up some exhaust leaks as it sounds like ass. Its not running super smooth anymore either. It feels like it is breaking up, I did oil my K&N filter as well.. I guess I'll get the exhaust leaks sealed up and see if it feels any better. I did shut the rear 02's off but left them in the pipe and hooked up to the harness.

For the record I'm not sure there's a question here. Just kind of frustrated, bummed, and maybe someone else had the same thing happen and has an easy fix.

Did you get a tune for the offroad pipe? If not, try that and report back with a smooth running car

No just turned the rear O2s off with the x4.. I didn't think of needing a tune past that.

Yeah I had no intention of going with them. Lol what's my other options? Steeda, Lund? There's a couple local shops. Just not sure it's at the 400 dollar dyno tune stage even tho that would be the best way to go.

I recommend AED. Shaun is a wizard with these cars.
My second choice would be Lund

Be careful with local shops... these engines and the new ECU they use are a little different than what most tuners are use to. A lot of "good" local tuners have blown these engines up in the past.

I thought the same.

I don't know. I'll look into it more, I want to check the mid pipe to manifold connection for leaks too.

AED or Lund seem to be the most popular and best options

That's the two names I keep hearing. I'm still not 100% sold on needing a tune. I'm still stuck in fox body land on a lot of this stuff. Lol

You can just throw an h pipe on there, but you won't see any benefits w/o a tune.

Well the car runs worse for sure. I'll retrace my steps to make sure I'm not missing anything, like an exhaust leak specifically by the manifolds. Then go from there.

The computer will sense cat issues and dump extra fuel down the exhaust to attempt to cool them from what I've been hearing. Only a tune will correct that issue. In my opinion you are playing with fire running the car without a tune.
The car was not cheap... what's another few hundred bucks to get it running perfect?
