Installing Helix Testpipes
Before I get my Helix pipes installed, do I need to buy resistors or O2 simulators? The shop said I should get 2 resistors so my SES light dont come on. Now what do you guys know about this?

What year is you Z, the 03's don't seem to have any problems, while 04's or at least 04.5's and later have some.
|
I bought my Z on January 1st of this year.

Yeah, i have an 03 and i installed them on mine and had no problems. Like already said, it just depends what year you have

my car is a 10/03 production date... 2004 model....will i have any problems when i get test pipes???
do i need to do anything to prevent ses light from coming on??? |
Well...I guess I'm an unlucky '03 owner because I've got the test pipes and it's throwing a code now for the cats. It wasn't doing anything for about 6 months, but then I guess it got a little pissed and decided to give me a cel as a gift. How hard is it to do the resistor deal?

The CEL is most likely a OBD2 cat efficiency code...or in this cat inefficiency because you removed them :)

yup...what HanZolo said.
Even with the 02 sensors connected, the ECU sees no change in upstream vs. downstream pollutant content. It will essentially think the cats are not working...and throw the code. Mine comes and goes periodically. |
