The first two o2 sensors are for mixture correction and the second two are to check catalyst efficiency - hence why I asked about engine lights before, as many of the 'high flow' cats aren't any good and the car will set 'catalyst low efficiency' codes - the same thing happens if you bash the cats out completely of course.

got a few pics of stock headers and cats. strange looking but guess they kinda work due to the power they make.
also picked up some top gun 10mm leads. autobarns want $340 for these!!!! its like 2 inches of lead. how can they charge that!!!
good old ebay $112 later-

those cats do wonders controlling emissions, thats why they look like pigs.. its basically the biggest contribution car manufactures concentrate on when attempting to increase emission efficiency.
i remember my local exhaust guy opening up a bf mkiii territory cat,to take a look inside, he could hardly belive it even flowed the gas out the exhaust..
for that reason you will find the new cats you fitted will improve power more so than the extractors and cat back..

Rollin is correct about the sensors, so be sure to plug all of them in, even drill a hole and plug it in if needed..
