Confused more info/pics

With what's given I'll say that you have and exhaust leak. I say contact ARK on gaskets and replace your gasket and have a shop/DIY check your exhaust. But if your running HFC from the sound of it. That's normal to have rasp/whistle.

What do you have instead of factory cats? What code is it throwing?

I tried to google you, is this a pic of car?

Heh, just pullin your chain. If you're runnin TP's, you can expect to get the code for the lower O2 sensors. Even with ART's or with the nonfouler fix, it can still happen.

Have you tried clearing your codes? If so, does it come back? Someone above mentioned ART pipes, but I'm not sure what you're using.

Can I Haz moar info, pweeze?

I thought I answered this in the aftermarket NISMO exhaust thread? This is STILL the wrong forum. Post in the tech section in the VQ35HR sub forum.

I know for a fact that aftermarket cat will throw a CEL. But if you dont want your CEL on you need to get the factory cats back on.
