Exhaust ground strap

[40daws]

I was looking in my FSM at the exhaust section and noticed a ground strap wire thats supposed to be bolted to the header/converter and then to the body. Well I lost/wasn't there mine and was wondering how many of you reused it when you worked on or changed your exhaust ? i have a s13 with KA24E.

i wouldnt worry about it, they always fall off.

Yeah dude, they're gay. What electrical part of the exhaust system needs a better ground then being bolted to the head? Don't worry about it.I am sure the idea was that aluminum is not as good of a conductor as steel, and may cause problems with the O2 readings. But O2 sensors, that aren't wideband, don't read accurately anyway so it won't fix anything.
