    oh yeah and to anyone who hasn't seen. with that setup i pulled 180rwhp with 2degrees of spark advance, 14.1 degrees of knock retard. that's more then most V6's with ICB and no knock, full timing.


    ICB = intake and cat-back
    i was swimming in the carribean. animals were hiding behind the rocks except for the little fish, but they told me the squid\'s trying to talk to me. oink, oink. where is my mind?

      I've had a 3" hi-flow cat on my ride since Feb 01 and have never thrown an SES ! Running with original O2's ... not simms. I know of no reason for the hi-flow cat to throw SES unless maybe the cat doesn't have enough catalyst volume for the flow ...<hr></blockquote>

      I can see what you mean.

      When i removed my stock cat for 3" magnaflow, i never threw any codes for like 6 mths. Then i switched to a 2.5" catco when i got my b&b cause i wanted 2.5" all the way through for more torque down low. 2 mths. later my ses light came on & has come & gone since. Duece scanned it & said it was the 02 senors in bank 1 (behind cat or driver side exhuast manifold).

      I'm gona replace the 02 sensors first. if that doesn't work then i'll see if i can buy a used stock cat & cut the reducer like duece suggested. I'll post after i replace the 02's.

        I have had a 3" cat for allmost 2 yrs now and never had a problem with the ses light untill last week. So I guess it was just luck of the draw. [img]smile.gif[/img]

          my 2 cents

          i have a complete 3" exahust system and a high flow cat, my car was doin the ses light on and off periodicly, but it hasnt come on in over a month. Seems like the comp just had to adjust...

            It makes me think twice about getting a high flow cat if there is no solution for SES light. I can't be driving around with women in the car with that light on man!! LOL What are the 02sims and where can I buy em??

              i have a 3" hi flow cat, and i don't have any SES light. original 02's, too. i guess it is just hte luck of the draw on that one. good luck with whatever anyone decides to choose.
