LT Headers and O2 simulators..... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

EAkrish · 08-16-2009, 03:17 AM

I am going to get the DT Long tube headers..... I know they will spark a CEL. The thing I want to know is if I do get these headers and find a O2 simulator that will work.... I should be okay right???

EAkrish · 08-16-2009, 04:21 AM

will this work???

Worked on my past 2 evo's with out cats

On my LS1 5.3 I have the Dynateck LT headers and was throwing o2 codes.
With HP or EFI you can turn them off.

With my 5.3 I already had a tweeked Program and running a Magnsun Supercharger on top so turning them off did not really affect any of the affcted paramiters.
On the stock motor with no other Program changes not sure how this will affect warm up of motor.

EAkrish · 08-16-2009, 08:03 AM

I want those dt headers.... I hope I will be fine. Anyone else?

SRFnSNO · 08-16-2009, 01:14 PM

O: also forgot Had the Dynatek Headers Jet Coated (Offroad Product)
It has a textured finish instead of smooth. also the Dynatek Free flow Cats.

EAkrish · 08-16-2009, 02:25 PM

The headers I am talking about do not have cats.... Anyone else know if this will work?

Hey EA!
With arh and kooks making LT's, why go DT?

also, the op about the o2 check engine light is not a issue anymore!

SSouthernboy · 08-19-2009, 02:32 AM

I remember reading reviews from a performance shop building a race camaro that they were not impressed with the DT headers, specifically the collectors were the issue if I'm not mistaken. I'll try to find the thread. I went with stainless works personally.

gtbaldini · 08-19-2009, 09:09 AM

DT normally makes an outstanding product. I have not seen any reviews posted, so keep us posted on your impressions. Good luck on your mod.

Just search google dt headers 2010 camaro

jes1475 · 10-19-2009, 09:04 PM

i have the dt long tube headers 1 7/8 with high flow cats.. they are a great product. there may be better but they are sharp looking and good performance. easy to install and were $1100 shipped. i think the Steel works are some what ugly. the finish is tacky. when you go to buy them they want you to buy the headers all the way back $2600. the headers won't connect to the stock X pipes. DT all the way.

franknbeans · 10-19-2009, 09:56 PM

Jes does the DT connect to the stock system?

yes it does. takes about 2 to 3 hours to put in. gonna put the video on you tube i will send the link so you can here it. i should have it on there tonight.

gpr · 10-20-2009, 11:49 AM

I was thinking about this very thing the other night. I remember way back when i took some cats out I wired a resister into the oxygen sensor. Essentially the resister would send back the correct voltage to the ecm so it thinks the o2's are still working in the proper range. This would be a great way to add long tube headers with no cats and not mess with computer tuning. This way no codes would be thrown and no reflash of the computer is needed, thus if you have major warranty problems take the headers off and the computer will never know or show it has been altered.

Obviously a tune will create more power, but it seems as if the come from factory running rich and doing this would help lean them out with out reprogramming. Just need someone to build o2 simulators or figure out what wires to splice and what size resistor would be needed to wire in.

jes1475 · 10-21-2009, 07:13 AM

i am getting a HP tune. this week. $350 and includes 3 dyno pulls. he says it will run like a dream. the nice thing if there is a problem with the car. all i have to do is call him and he re installs the factory tune. take it in and have it fixed with the dealer. take it home and have the performance tune put back in.

MarylandSpeed · 10-21-2009, 02:11 PM

We have some pretty rocking prices on Kooks right now...better than most of you think. If your curious, give us a call for pricing at 443-730-9428. Kooks is one of the best headers you can buy
