Yes dirty = good.

How much money did u put into that project?
Trust me, my sayings are quite different.

The exhaust cost me a total of about $375, IIRC

Flowmaster 80 series muffler: $85
Exhaust tips: $22
Glasspack: $40 (18", no nipple ends. Custom order)
The rest was labor.

Labor will vary depending on where you go. I had mine done at a Mieneke.

Alright, I will replace the cat for sure, as well as the O2 sensor, I might replace the 2nd sensor as well but I must ask this first.

If bank1 sensor is the sensor in front of the cat, and thats what the code pulls for, then the sensor after the cat SHOULD be ok, right?


The rear O2 sensor (bank 2) "might" be ok... but O2 sensors are only meant to last for a max of 10 years or 100,000 miles. Pretty much the same thing with the cat. You'd be best off just replacing everything in one shot, then you know it will be working properly and you shouldn't have any problems.

Thats true, I dont know much history about my car, other than it was owned by a drunk driver girl who crashed it numerous times, and blown a head-gasket. She lost her license which forced her mom to sell it for dirt cheap.
Thats how I got it

So yea, best bet is to replace most necessary things in order to save me headache later on.
