If you have any other suggestions on exhaust I am all ears. I am looking for the best performing exhaust. Not anything loud at all. My car is loud enough from my intake/header system.

have you looked into the Apexi WS-II exhaust? im planning to get this one, cause i hear its quiet but still gives the car a growl at start up and is noticably different than OEM haha

First, as a fellow black sedan owner got to say really liking the car and big difference between the drop and not. Also did you have a CEL before using a the defouler on the rear O2 sensor and where did you get yours? I know I can easily search, but if yours worked, might as well go with what works!

Have to ask as a fellow person myself entering into tech/engineering field, what did you do at Intel, why were you laid off, and where are you now? Myself, I am co-oping at Diebold HQ and am a Jr. in computer engineering.

I got laid off and im working at intel right now again. I never had a CEL because I put the O2 fouler on right away when I went with the megan high flow cat.

My county in Ohio is only one in handful that requires exhaust checks. The trick is they don't test the actual exhaust if the car has ODB and doesn't have a CEL. since my CEL has been on, they tested me and I'm 4 times over their NoX gas limit and I have the F23A4 ULEV engine lol. It's every other year and if you spend 300 trying to fix it after a fail you get a pass for another 2 years. Thing is I knew it was gonna fail so I paid over 300 before my first test. Then I had to spend another 300. I got ripped. Between the two places, not a single one suggested a defouler. Not that it's a "legal" option but not like the shop I first used were the most law-abiding dudes. They even traced wiring testing its continuity all the way back to my ECU and no problems. they said ECU must have an issue, swapped one with same model and same error codes. I'll try a defouler and hopefully that works. You don't have one on the front sensor do you? It's pre-cat so it should expect high levels of whatever. Plus, it's the A/F ratio sensor too so don't think I want that having to hang outside the main flow of exhaust.

My defouler is on the cat. No cel for 4 years

I know it's a simple device and that the rear O2 sensor is basically a universal fit, but would you have a link you could recommend to me? I'd appreciate it.
