O/R H Pipe Install(Mac)

PowerShiftz02GT · January 2nd, 2008, 08:26 PM

Once i buy my Mac O/R H Pipe i am worried about the install. Everyone says its really easy and it does seems easy. But im more worried about the Mill Eliminators. On the H Pipe is there going to be 4 holes or something where i put the Mill Eliminators in. If im correct i use the first 2 that are already attached to the car or the O2 Senors and then i put those into the pipe and lastly i have to buy 2 Mill eliminators and connect them to the Rear of the H Pipe? Is that right?

Also do the Mill Eliminators screw into the pipe or do they just Plug in or something?

Sorry if this is a newbie question but i just dont want to have any surprises once i get the stock H pipe off and then realize im Screwed or something.

Does anyone have any Pictures of where the Mill eliminators go just to be on the safe side before i take everything apart?

Thanks

you put the mils in the rear 2 holes.

and it depends on what kind of mils you bought.
you have plug in type and splice type.

those look like the plug-in type..

HMUSN · January 2nd, 2008, 09:05 PM

those are indeed the plug in ones.

JaxnsGT · January 2nd, 2008, 10:30 PM

you plug one side into your O2 sensor that goes into your H pipe and the other end plugs into your wire coming down that the O2 sensor was plugged into. also everybody says you don't need them but on my install i had to have O2 extensions for the front 2 senors on my car.

also the mils wont fit your plugs if your car is past an 02 so you will just have to shave the small tabs off of them and they will clip right in

man that seems like a bitch. But i think i remember reading a tread on here that says 03 and 04 models need O2 Extensions but im not exactly sure. hmm. Well if i do need the extensions then this sucks because im already pissed i have to pay 65 bucks for stupid little plugs. thats soo dumb. but w/e.

just think of bypassing a connection.. it's simple

You don't need extensions. Just get under the hood and unclip them from the holding tabs. There is another foot of slack by just doing that. trace the 02 wires and you will see what I am talking about. This is for the front 02's. The MIL's are easy man. Don't know why so many people on here are so fearful of doing mods. Mid pipe is a socket set and a set of ramps or a couple jacks.

Oh wow thats good because im not buying those extenders if i really don't have to.

JaxnsGT · January 2nd, 2008, 11:57 PM

well i couldn't get slack even taking them off the holders...but they are like 35 bucks for extensions..but hey its your project i was trying to help out so you didn't have to ride around with a check engine light for a week like i did because everybody told me i didn't need them either

LoL. Well hmm. idk who to listen to now. i think im just going to buy the Pipe and the Mills and then install them and if i really need the Extenders then i guess ill have no choice and the stang will just sit in the garage for a week or something untill the extenders come in. no biggy.

Onemanzu · January 3rd, 2008, 12:08 AM

honestly man, taking off the components will be harder then putting them in... I would advise that you drop the stock mid pipe with the sensors in it... set it next to your new one and transfer the sensors one at a time... then put it back up in to the car... after that hook up your connections and fire it up...

don't forget MILs go on the back ones and the back ones only! and if you have tab issues just shave them off and run a piece of electrical tape around the seems and it will be just perfect

my car didn't have any slack either... some one said the same thing to me i was like... hmm sure...

but i put in some Long tubes... so i played it safe and got the extenders... and even then i didn't have any slack

you can drive it without the front 2 sensors hooked up. you just have to tie them up with zip ties and your check engine light will be on but the car will still drive no problem.

don't for get a swivel for the right side i think it was.. and make sure you shoot some wd-40 on all the bolts a day before you do the instal or some pb blaster makes it 10x easier to brake the bolts loose other then that its easy.. always nice to have another set of hands though!

Doc8224 · January 3rd, 2008, 12:58 AM

Yea extra pair of hands is nice. As for extensions I didn't need any, and that was with a mac o/r x so I am not gonna tell you that you absolutly will not. but just unhook it from the tabs and see how much slack you get. As for the tabs i had to shave mine.
