is there anything wrong with the present o2 sensors? if not, then why not save that 200 or so until needed.

ecstuning.com will save you $50 and they will be OEM replacements unlike autozone. at 100k miles its not a bad thing to do. O2 sensors are a maintenance item and need replacement every once in a while. you only need to replace the pre-cat sensor unless the other one is specificly throwing a CEL.

Hey Nova...just wondering if you've had a CEL come on since you put on the HFC from LaBree.

I installed a LaBree HFC about 6 or 8 weeks ago and it's been fine up until today when my CEL came on.

The only thing that has changed was that last weekend I installed a new high flow exhaust manifold from ATP. Now the CEL is on and the code reads:

P0422
Main Catalyst
Below Threshold
(Bank 1)

Anyone?

Nova - if you are going to change them, ecstuning.com sounds like a good way to go.

Ryan (threadjacker)- are you chipped? I had the same issue and I needed a re-flash and now I have no more issues.

Sorry...didn't mean to highjack the thread...I just saw that he was using a LaBree HFC.

No, I'm not chipped. I'll shoot you a PM so we can talk about what you did to fix the issue.

if you want a cheep O2 sensor and you have a ATW engine, then you could get one of the volkswagen ones that was on recall. its about $30.
Part number 06A-906-262-Q
I dont know if it will work in both positions however.
