Any CEL's?

Okay, newby question: Are they universal fit? How do you know if it is the right one? (yeah, I assume you sent me the right one, just trying to learn).

Don't know if it's universal fit but those are the ones I have and a few other members have. I actually got them after a fellow v6er recommended them

I have the Gold magentic plug with 1 washer and it fit in fine. The only difference is the head of the bolt is a different size than the stock one.

yeah, if you don't have access to pipe cutters or a machine shop, I would recommend getting the pace setter long tubes installed professionally, as we had to cut the extensions, so that they would fit. We were very lucky to be able to get in the hobby shop on base, and they have anything you can think of. lol other than cutting the pipe and grinding the nub, everything else was pretty straight forward.

very first cold start

PoorMansCamaro · 04-29-2013, 07:55 AM

oh, and the 12" o2 extensions are about 11.5" too long. lol used zip ties to clean it up.

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback.

So I accidentally snapped my pcv valve, the plug that goes into the intake manifold...anyone know where to get a new one? I bought one at AutoZone but it doesn't fit perfectly, it'll hold me over for now.

I did so much work yesterday, only ran into two problems. When I was spraying my deep creep seafoam into my throttle body, the red straw the bottle came with broke loose from the bottle and shot into my manifold! Fortunately just removing the throttle body allowed me enough reach to get it out lmao!

So total list that my ride got yesterday is a new ported intake manifold, mace 25 mm spacer, elite catch can, cleaned and reoiled my vararam, seafoamed the engine then performed an oil change.

The manifold was surprisingly easy, had it off in literally 10 minutes. That flex kobalt wrench is CLUTCH! I wouldn't bother fighting the install without it.

I'm admittedly a bit disappointed with the manifold but I've only driven about 40 miles with it on. I feel some more power, but I felt way more going from stock to my vararam than with these new mods.

My stock manifold was HIDEOUS! I'm posting pictures later, never again will I go without a catch can. There were literally puddles of oil in my manifold...puddles!

Anyways, where can I get that pcv part? And is there an extension for the oil filler cap?

PoorMansCamaro · 04-29-2013, 01:30 PM

I think the part number is 12583384.

not 100% sure that's what you are looking for.
