QUICK HEADERS INSTALL HELP!!!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

TheBlack-CyberGray-Pearl · 03-10-2012, 10:38 PM

basically done installing my bbk headers and the Oxygen sensor underneath on the drivers side is too short, so i just zip tied it up and figured i would deal with it tomorrow...

I started my car and it instantly turned off. Is that because the oxygen sensor is unplugged under there??? or is something else up???

I don't think it's cuz of the o2sensor since its plugged in it would just throw a code,,,did you tight ur spark plugs good enough,, did u crack any of them? What else did you disconnect?

feewwwwww, we're all good. I had forgotten to plug back in the mass airflow sensor.

N000000BBBBBBBB.....

Any idea where i can get an extension for the Oxygen sensor underneath the driver side. (lower sensor) It's the random square one while the others + their extenders were kind of oval shaped....

Kinda makes you wonder why BBk is shipping the wrong parts wih it's kit. Hasn't someone called to tell ten there kit is wrong?

TheBlack-CyberGray-Pearl · 03-11-2012, 03:09 PM

So the headers install, 10 hours later, turned out great! I love the sound, but a quick question...

Does my computer need to 'learn' them???

Too be honest, didn't really notice a difference in power. Will That come with a little time??

Ventmaster · 03-11-2012, 03:25 PM

Did you disconnect the battery? They say it's a good idea to do so when doing a mod affecting air/fuel ratio. It resets the ECM and allows it to relearn the new situation more quickly.

Short answer: Yes!

TheBlack-CyberGray-Pearl · 03-11-2012, 03:30 PM

I did disconnect the battery so hopefully it will kick in soon. Either way, i love the way the BBKs sound with the MRT v2 so it's still worth it

BBK did send the extenders with the headers? The one may seem too short with the extender but others were able to pull some slack from the harness that was keeping it too short.
People let them know at least 2-years ago that the plugs on their extenders were wrong and needed to have a tab cut. Apparently they don't really care?

TheBlack-CyberGray-Pearl · 03-12-2012, 10:28 AM

Did anyone get a loud vibration noise coming from either inside the dash or engine after installing headers???

And hopefully figure out what it is??

It only happens during the cold start, but it's annoying.
