Thanks for listening to the clip and expressing your thoughts, Bluestyle. I crawled underneath tonite to see if I could find something, and I did...the problem is simple...the caps to the secondary O2 bungs (at least I think that's what they're called) were loose. The left one was half unscrewed and both were easily screwed in/out by hand. The technician obviously didn't pay attention to make sure everything was secured. Tightened those and went for a test drive, and man does the exhaust sound sweet!!!! And, of course, no more rattle!

Yes, I had the Invidia exhaust installed before. Ran it for about 600 km before the HFC install. I definitely want to get my ECU tuned...likely Cobb AP. That would be cool to get the same map as yours, since we have the same equipment. I read your other thread and 25-30 HP and lb-ft gain after the tune is crazy awesome, man! I wonder if I should get an e-tune from them or even a dyno tune somewhere to get the most gains (as each car could be slightly different, we live in different climates/altitudes, and buy different gas)???

Also, thanks to Nissangeneration of ERZ (forum sponsor) for suggesting that I should check the O2 caps. If anyone else is interested in a set of ERZ HFCs, definitely fire him a PM.

BTW, 250 km so far and no CELs.
