Default AFR reading with exhaust leak

recently switched my ISR TEST PIPES (crap) and megan Y pipe for berks test pipe and tomei y pipe.

Kept expierence leaks between the test pipes and headers (before o2 bungs on test pipe).


Could the leaks AFR readings during WOT? My target AFR I 12.66. But I'm reading 13-13.5.

??... You need to re-type this more clearly. I think I know what you're asking, but I'm not gonna assume..

Leaks pre-o2 sensor will distort readings.

from what I recall when mine leaked it must have sort of scavenged clean air through the leak point in the gasket and pulled it into the exhaust stream as it was reading a bit leaner than normal, similar to what you described.

Holy crap I must of been high when I typed this haha

i have some leak noise under my car with the new tomei Y pipe. Checking under the car and ran multiple test and we can't find any air leaks what so ever. The tomei Y pipe rattles near the collector between 2300-2500 every time with some throttle.

My main question was. Could a exhaust leak after test pipes throw off AFR readings still.

If leak is after o2 sensor then no. Shove rags in muffler, start car and you should find the leak much much easier
