So get those o2 bung/extenders off ebay, o2 extension harness, and the cat delete pipes and I am good to go?

I didn't need the harness. You only need that when you go to LTs.

Thanks fellas. I appreciate the help!

If you guys were me, would you just get a tune, LT's and call it good?

Just not worry about the warranty then? Or take a visit to my dealership and talk to the service manager, I have heard a lot of guys doing that.

It was an odd circumstance. The Big Daddies are supposed to be the #1 anti-CEL product on the market. I did get a CEL after I installed the high-flow cats and extenders. I cleared the code several times, only to have it reappear. I just kept running the car with it on. Performance wasn't diminished in any way, so I left it alone. This past Spring I installed my BBK headers, cleared the code and it has never come back on. The codes were saying the car was running lean even though I knew it was not. My exhaust tips were constantly black, so I knew it was ok (even running rich). I believe, between the stock manifolds and the O2 extenders, the ECU wasn't getting enough exhaust flow; therefore, it was throwing lean codes. With the headers installed, the ECU was then getting enough flow and the code has never come back. I'm happy and the ECU is happy.

So you ran headers with those extenders without a tune correct?

I have a tune on the car. Mods are in my sig. It is not a dyno tune however. It is a handheld (canned 93 octane tune).
