BHR Mods
So I installed my BHR midpipe and ignition today, and in the beginning it was running amazing, smooth rpms, the whole 9 yards but I drove it home and now its acting kind of sluggish..
Itll get real sluggish but then itll clear up and run back smooth.
Im not sure if its the ignition or the midpipe since I installed them at the same time. It had to be something I did wrong cause I know Charles makes good products.
I kind of felt like it was coming from the mid pipe, would it make it run sluggish like that?

I'd guess it's not the midpipe. It's just a open hole. Do you have any CEL's? My first guess would be the ignition ground. But check all the Spark plug wires and maybe pull the plugs and see if any of them look bad. When was the last time you changed plugs?

So I checked all the wires and everything seems to be in place besides this one plug.. And I cant find where it went, could this one wire be making everything act up?

It's post O2 sensor, so generally it shouldn't cause a problem like this, but it could in theory at lower RPM and lower load. I'd say clean and reset the ESS, reset the fuel trims, close up that exhaust leak, and then see how things are.
Just guessing that the leak might be throwing off what the ECU sees as your AFR.

Do you still have your coil set or midpipe? You should put either of these back on to identify whether its the coils or pipe causing the issue. Will cut your problem solving time in half.

Pulsing could still have some impact on lambda readings as the sensor is pretty close to the join. More likely at lower RPM as RIWWP indicates. Just saying it's definitely worth checking the front join to be sure.

Yeah I put the gaskets on, its just not flush with the joining pipe.. Im not sure why. You can smell the exhaust in my car very good.. I imagine thats gotta be the exhaust leak. Gonna bring it to the muffler shop Saturday and see what they can do.
