If you get nothing or it's stuck open with no voltage, then get a new one.

Someone mentioned the size of your stock RSB being huge. Which it is, which is pretty common on wagon shaped cars.

This.

yea the sway bars on this car are fairly big from the get go, but now im running - 29mm front / 32mm rear

It might take a few miles for the CEL to kick on. Not sure if the car has to complete a driving cycle or not for this one.

Takes around 3 cold start and drive cycles to complete a EVAP system test. It'll be back on. A p0442 is more common of a gas cap issue. Which is just a generic gross leak. You have a component specific code. No flow from the purge. Meaning the car is sealing itself and seeing it by way of the tank pressure sensor. But the O2's aren't seeing the rich condition it should by way of the purge opening.

In other words your light will be on in a couple days for the same thing.

Danny shut up, Your car probably gets double the gas mileage of a mustang, plus around our area mustangs are starting to become too common

[caldwell]

Turbo 4 bangers that have decent HP don't get any better fuel economy then V8s. I get 22MPG on my Z06. My Mustang got 19MPG... but on regular :-)

I wouldn't run straight pipes. Very few cars actually sound good and then usually drone once the mufflers are gone.

[caldwell]

I love the way speed3's sound straight piped, and im not overly concerned with the drone as my stereo is always on... I do however have every intention of keeping the muffler, should i wanna put it back on...

I don't know about you, but my 305whp Turbo 2.5L Sentra averages about 30mpg. ~38 strictly highway...

While the modern V8 is fantastic with regards to perfomance and economy, 20mpg isn't 30mpg. Even knowing that my Sentra is no match for a z06, it's still not the same though.

[caldwell]

yea not to turn this into a mpg thread, but I do about 18-20 city, and 25-26 hwy...

im happy with that...

[Godofelru]

Well that's unfortunate

[caldwell]

straight pipiing the car wednesday...

the muffler will be for sale, if anyone is interested...

[mcperson2k]

My 09 civic averages 22mpg... Which is like 20% highway. I should have gotten a Prius instead...
