From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

    there is always a way to fit the exhaust. O2 outlets can be moved, exhaust shops can easily do it. What did you do wrong? Any pictures?

      X2 that ... get you a bung kit, plug the old bung and have the shop weld in your new bung just make sure they put it before the cat but after the manifold for best results ... at least thats what my LC-1 book says

        well i dont mean exhaust sorry that was my fault but there is no way to fit the downpipe due to the oil return line. I took some crappy camera phone pics so here they are.....was this my screw up?

          Can you not move the oil feed return line out of the way a little bit?
          Edit: If all else fails, you could get the dp fabbed, and either close the hole on the oil pan and replace your return fitting, or get a new oil pan and just redo it. Regardless, it seems like it should be able to be moved.

              oh you have a turbo system...

              put a 90degree fitting on there and move it along the oil pan away from the down pipe.

                Or you can just get a longer line and route it elsewhere.

                  i might have to go the longer line route and hope that the oil still flows smoothly enough

                          im saying just use the o2sensor to plug that hole......

                          and did you buy that oil line kit from stealthmode performace or tuner toys?

                          from the pics you took, it seems likes its tapped to the far right towards the timing belt. you should follow that pic i showed you.

                            oh no i have a plug for the o2 sensor hole already. Thats plugged. and the pan is tapped as far over to the left as possible to leave it over the deep side of the pan

                            oh yeah and the kit is from stealthmode

                              i think the exhaust shop was just lazy to mess with it cuz i think i had mine taped to almost the same as yours and they made it work.
