3ft breaker bar ? Need to start to lift 25 pound weights maybe ? LOL.. Put some muscle into it.. I almost had the same problem, but I eat spinach like popeye.

Check engine on again. Seems to last 2 days. Post a few clips. I will post one tonight hopefully.

i had all my weight on them. just rounded off the bolts. they seemed to be welded on. but enough torch and they came off. ive taken o2 sensors off a 10 yr old car with just a wrench before when they were rusted on. no problem. these were insane. used pb blaster first. they are nice and round now. tried to buy new ones but no one has them.

how long have you had yours on, and how long until the first check engine came one?

I have had mine on for over 2 weeks now. 1st check engine was the next day I think. After 3 or 4 start / stops. Each time I turn the check engine light off, a few days later it comes back. I do alot of local driving, not alot of hwy. Who knows.....

I will try and see if the spark plug adapters help. Just my opion, BBK should have provided something on the CATS so this would not be a problem. I should not have to buy a 2 dollar adapter and rig it to work in my back yard. Just me, thinking out loud.

I bought Stainless. I maybe would have gone ceramic.....

Does BBK offer anything to fight off these CELs other than an adapter? I wonder how well that actually works. I've read all of these threads, and sounds to me like 90% of long tube setups out there have gotten the CEL. There has got to be a better solution than going all out with a tune. Would be nice to hear if anyone has tried these adapters and if they worked for them.

Here is one of my vids with the "almost completed" exhaust.



BBK Stainless + BBK Cats & Meistershaft GTHAUS Dual Tips. Crank the volume. Better clips to follow.

just clear the CEL's. who cares.

to rich. sounds awesome. bet it sounds way better in person. these cameras cant pick up true sound for sh*t.

mine sounds good until the 2900rpm-3000rpm. then it gets super raspy. weird really.

Thanks.

Honestly, Even if you crank up your volume, it does not do it justice. Should hear the clip 0-??...LOL

Sounds good man. Not sure if I like the exhaust tips, but it is unique.
