but yeah i felt a very good power gain... the oem manifold is horribly restricted within 1 foot of the head. the alphawerks ooh'd and awww'd a bunch of my 3g eclipse buddies too LOL
the raspy noise is just from the engine noise.. not the exhaust note. i'm still awaiting a decent exhaust that won't make my car sound like a CRX with straight through exhaust.
i've also noticed my auto up/down windows don't work anymore.. and i can't control my passenger window from my drivers side. not sure if i blew a fuse or what....
so back to the drawing board about getting this damn CEL to disappear... any recommendations ladies/gentlemen?

major plans other than just this 
just doing it as money provides. i have suspension mods coming in and i'm probably going to wait to see if weapon can develop a carbon fiber air box for me. then i'll get the secret weapon and ram air kit,
i don't really like the antifouler idea because it may not be registering enough air and may throw the fuel mixture off. i'd like to see a dyno with the AF of someone using the antifouler then i'd be happy to slap it on.

you mean o2 sim.. the o2 sensor is already on the car. that's what you're going to plug into your antifouler... but yes you are correct. you can remove the antifouler, reinstall the o2 SENSOR normally, and install the ZPI o2 sim.

there she is installed.
here's the shot of the ATF lines going to the cooler (by the radiator on the passenger side).
notice i didn't reinstall the bracket on the passenger side
and well i didn't reinstall the bolt on the drivers side either. i'll be fixing this next weekend. no worries. i'll retighten the exhaust (where header-> s-pipe meet) saturday anyways

so they are now only selling the o2 sims with little wiring involved...
anyone know how much they hav to pay for a o2 sim for Alphawerks
I paid $60... and i think i was ripped off....
thank you have a nice day
