That's areally nice hood, Maniac! Is a functional ram air though? It looks to be, but what's your take on it?

I'd be inclined to agree with Blazed. PFYC or MPD would be the way to go (the hole for functional ram air on that one I just found looks like it may not line up, but I have reason to believe that underside pic is not the real hood (a generic pic of a different hood).

Thanks man it is all abut that fit and finish you would not want to have to try to fix that it looked good at the front and the back but to fix the center side being that low not worth it at all .

Nope. The code is not a result of a missing O2 sensor. It's the O2 code is a result of the rear O2 sensor (that you pull from your old DP and install on the new one) not liking the reading it gets from the high flow cat. ZZP and a lot of performance shops selling the high flow cat DPs all say the cats are on the border line of what the computer will accept for proper readings.

As mentioned, you can either tune the code out (basically, the PCM is reprogrammed to not even know that code could exist, so it will not check for that condition, as I understand it).

I mentioned earlier in this thread of another alternative if the code does appear and it involves spacing the O2 sensor out of the exhaust stream.
