Re: Dc sports header issues?

I asked who performed the work since everytime I've ever had someone else do something for me, I've had to go behind and fix something else. Since you did it yourself, it's easier to keep track of what may've been touched, accidentally unplugged, etc. I would still use a proper O2 sensor. Don't for...

I would try lengthening your old O2 rather than use an older model O2 as they have varying egr systems. Then reset your ECU. Not really sure why you're having a chugging issue.

I dont mean to be negative but that vibe isnt worth even 4000. with those miles youd maybe get a couple grand if your lucky. its nicely upkept but alot of people and dealerships especially look at miles.

The oem caps don't have any sealing material, just plastic clips. the oem surrounds with the rack mounts have no 'seal' either. The rail under the rubber and coverings drains bulk water, and there is another drain underneath inside the car from the bolt mounts. Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up!
