Default Do the 2003's need this fix?

Do the 03's need this fix? Has anyone run TP's on an 03 w/ or w/o the fix?

edit: research on this forum suggests the 03 does not need this fix. I went ahead and did it anyway, just to be safe. Stillen test pipes installed and no CEL so far. Also the sound is awesome after 3k rpm. Definately more responsive from 3k. No rasp or crappy sound.

I have an 05 z 2 non foulers in each tp and still getting cel. I tried stuffing with brillo and still got cel. I wanna know is possible to do 3 non foulers per tp maybe drilling the second and third one or just drilling the third one out? Will 3 fit or is there not enough room down there? My brother was telling me I can solder like a resistor and capacitors to 02 sensors like he did on his jag and cel wont come on....has anyone done this? Ive seen some cars where they weld in jbend bars hows that work?

That doesn't even sound like an 02 sensor problem.

well heres my experience. i have an 03 G35 and i have all breather mods and FI testpipes with the non foulers installed by them. They worked good for a little while then i got the CEL. One of the testpipes (resonated) was rattling so i sent them back and they rebuilt them for me with new resonators. During that time i had my stock cats on and my CEL was no more. Put the Testpipes back on and once again a few hundred or less miles the light comes on. What i noticed is when i had the cats on they cleaned my O2 sensors from when they were black with the Test pipes. So to sum it all up: Before i put on the testpipes the sensors were clean. After i took them off and put on testpipes it took a couple hundred or less miles to get a CEL. Took off testpipes and sensors were black then put on cats. Took them off sensors were clean again and during that time no CEL. Put new testpipes back on and a lil while later CEL. Also after i dropped my transmission lately to replace my old one with a CD0009 I had to disconnect my O2 sensors and they were black like i anticipated then i cleaned them off with a rag at the shop and eventually put them back on and it was either that or that my battery was disconnected causing the ecu to reset. Either way the only way to fix it with my experience is get the simulators or something. Sharif from Forged Performance said that he can delete that CEL for good when i get my UTEC and tune from them. Thats my contribution.

just pulled the code and i have bad MAF sensor. I just had a car accident few weeks ago and the bodyshop fixed my Z nice but it seems like the MAF sensor they ordered for me is bad. After I get that taken care of, we'll see if the O2 fouler is working or not.

So im running 2 non foulers on each test pipe and my cel never goes away it goes but always comes back after like 15 miles. I also added brillo and it still comes back. Do I need to add 3 nonfoulers or should I go to a shop and have them weld in a j bend pipe? I have a 2005 350z does it have wideband? I dont have money for a tune right now also so that option is gonna have to wait.

You only need 6 of the risers.

Also, the codes you have show a fault in the F/A ratio. Not cat efficiency.

You probably have an exhaust leak at the header/test pipe flange interface.
