The part you linked is the defouler trick. I've heard of it not working, but the vast majority of cases it does.

Does CT do a visual of the underside? That's the only problem with moving it back.

Anyway, try the defouler trick (or simply buy the pre-made setup you linked) and see if it works. If you get a code you can try something else.

Make sure you put in on the second O2 sensor. The first will/should get the same reading as before the header install.

yea thats why im worried, CT is suppose to have the visual, so i thought doing the defouler would be better because it kinda looks stockish, plus no wiring and no relocated o2 sensor.

it worked on mine. SSAC is pretty close to the OBX IIRC they are both hotshot knock offs.

I just bought a 2001 Nissan Sentra SE 2.0 as a fun weekend car to play around with. I need a new exhaust and was wondering if this would work or not?

OBX H95980

I also need to know what I would do for a muffler and the rest of the exhaust as it appears to be missing the middle part between the muffler and header. I'm just getting into cars so I don't know as much as you guys. Thanks and this is the link I found on E-bay which shows what is looks like.

Get that and a catback exhaust (BRM, Greddy, etc, do some searching) and you're good to go. What you have there is just the header and midpipe, it goes to the cat.

Just make sure you have someone that can weld an extra little piece of pipe on your EGR valve piping. The EGR valve pipes ends up being a little short and needs to be extended a little bit (about an extra inch of pipe)
