Default exhaust tutorial

ok, I dont know much about this area so you guys need to fill me in a little.

I want some pacesetter LT headers and I need an offroad y pipe. and I was thinking of getting another flomaster 40 to make it true dual. so I guess I would need an X pipe for that right?

What about all my O2 sensors, will they throw codes without the cats being there?

Whats an ORY? Anything else I might need to know? Also anysuggestions on my future setup would be cool.
Oh ya, really ignorant question, what does WOT mean?
God I feel retarted lol. Thanks guys

ORY is OffRoad Y pipe.

WOT is Wide Open Throttle.

The only stupid question is the question that goes unasked.

You should be good with that setup. You will need to have the rear o2's turned off if you go with an ORY (does not have catalytic converters).

If you get the headers, make sure you have them coated or at least get them coated from the manufacturer.

Also, if you want true duals you won't need a y-pipe as it combines the two headpipes into 1. Just get a shop to run the headpipes to an x-pipe then from it on out to your mufflers.

Is there another Y pipe that is "legal" and comes with cats, or can have the stock/aftermarket cats welded on other than the ORY?
