Went the Stainless Works route

[The Gemini]

I guess you can call this a follow-up thread to my "Which Exhaust?" thread from a month ago or so.

I decided to go with the Stainless Works catted downpipes and cat-back exhaust system. I just really liked what I heard on their channel for the complete set-up on a SHO, and the fact that they are located in my home state sealed the deal for me.

I am extremely glad I got this system, and absolutely love the way my car sounds now. Here's a posted video:

Yes, it's a pricey system. Yes, I have a CEL on all the time now. Yes, there were a couple minor issues right out of the box. However, I worked with Dean at SW, and he made sure I was taken care of. Helped me out from start to finish, and always got right back to me on any questions I needed help with.


Again, I am completely happy with this set-up. Please let me know your thoughts.

What is the CEL pretaining too?

 

[The Gemini]

I don’t remember the exact code right now (I’ll get it in the morning and post), but it’s tied to the high flow cats / temp sensor. I’ve been told this happens with a lot of aftermarket cat con’s, including the SW.

Have your tuner tune it out.

Tuners wont turn them off anymore

The exact code for the CEL is: P0141 / O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2

Confirmed my tuner won't turn off the CEL due to emission laws.

P0141 means that you don't have the rear O2 plugged in. It's an electrical circuit fault.

After about 50 miles you're going to get a P0420 and P0430 codes for cat efficiency. In my experience even the catted versions from SW pop them.

As Chris said above though, the Big Daddy's defoulers work great and will get the code eliminated without a tune change.

What physical issues did you have? We've seen occasionally where the bung for the O2s are deburred and you have to reach in there and knock off some slag that prevents the O2 from being installed, but otherwise no issues.

Do you know if big daddies garage is still up? Contact page is an error

I just tried and it worked. Thanks for the bump on this thread though. I couldn’t remember the name of the place.

For me it comes up that the page is missing, for the contact page. If it works for you, can you post the email address? Need to see if there's a cheaper option for shipping to Canada. $100cad is ridiculous

 

[Zpak]

Same for me, it will let me checkout but the “contact” page comes up blank.

I tried the checkout page and PayPal boots me out. Says this vendor is unavailable

I was able to go as far as putting in card info through an alternative backup paypal site. I dont need them. I was just curious as im a computer wizzzz and wanted to see what the issue was. Seemed to be working fine

I ended up just ordering junk ones off Amazon. I need them sooner than later and since there's no way to contact the owner then I'm not interested in an expensive product
