View Full Version : My exhaust woes....

Well, here's the story...

Eveybody knows that any aftermarket exhaust for the 93 - 97 probe will require a 6" extension for the OBDII cars (96 - 97) but this extension is not supposed to be required for ANY OBDI cars... Right??? Wrong!!!

Last night after Jeremy and I cut my old exhaust off we realized that for some reason my car, a 95, needs the extension too... WTF???

Anyway, that leaves my car w/no exhaust... It's a good thing that I still have my Bronco so that I could get to work...

Jeremy is going to get an extension made for me today (he may have already done this???)... Oh well, now I just can't wait to get my header & my cam (I bought them both in a BB a while back)....

Moral of the story..... Just cause your not OBDII doesn't mean that you won't need the extension... IOW - do the install when an exhaust shop is open... :)

heres the deal 93-94 no extention, 95 needs a short extention,97-98 longer extention. 95 is sort of an odd ball i guess

yeah, obd2 have 3.. one on each exhaust manifold and one post-cat to measure efficiency... i've also been told that it's not cat placement but cat size instead... i hope that is the case otherwise i will have to have my exhaust redone when i get my header...
