Default Just installed a CEL fix..

Hey you guys, I just finished installing a CEL FIX on the downpipe. The cel fix looks like this.

http://i4.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/df/40/f292_1.JPG

This cel fix is huge and the wiring stretched out which made one of the blue wires cut. So i put tape around that wire. When I was screwing the 02 plug back in the wires were twisting around so thats why I believe the blue wire cut. Will this be a problem? The 02 plug and cel fix are screwed in enough to not move. Is that ok? I'm just a little worried about the 02 plug wiring.

I noticed my exhaust sounds different since I put this CEL fix. Does that mean that I didn't install it properly? Also I need to get my waste gaste ported as I said in the previous post because my car hit overboost.

If your exhaust sounds louder than you might have an exhaust leak around the 02 cel fix. Look around it for black soot. Also next time you mess with the 02 sensor, you should unplug it and remove it prior to install so that you don't twist the wires. If one of the wires is cut then it could cause a short. Is your CEL gone?

My exhaust sounded different when I installed the 02 cel fix. Yes the CEL is gone. I tried unplugging it but it wouldn't budge.

It is a pain to unplug it, but it will come apart with enough persistence. I wouldn't be worried about the wires if the CEL is gone. At least its working.
