I have seen a few good deals with the SS manifold for IS300, and wonder if it will add pressure to the fuel consumption?
Many thanks in advance for helping.
ALL SS manifold (if equal length) is original design to add performance and save fuel at the same time. However, since the performance goes up. People will like to step more on the gas to get the fun out of it and leading to higher fuel consumption.
Wow, reply from seller about this"the megan one is brand name version of the same header/downpipe. It come with 1 year manufactory warranty(directly from megan only). For the generic one, there is no warranty issue for that. This is the only difference. Both fit the same car and model."
Okay, this is basically a simulator for the 2nd O2 sensor, it should be able to fool the ECU to believe that the catalytic converter is alive & kicking, while it has actually been dismantled, and therefore avoid an catalytic converter error.
It should work, but your exhaust pipe is going to be pretty smelly!
Checked installation and everything correct, also the led indicator is on. Reset computer, and then engine light still came on after about 10km.............
Due to the engine light is on, gas consumption has increased about 20%.
