I'm very aware of where that pipe is, and how it's situated in the truck. Just trying to save you from replacing that WB o2 sensor in 6 months.

i knew when I posted that pic that it looked wrong
my brother was pissed at how the weld came out. He is a pro welder but the rod the dealer gave him was crap.
Maby you could answer something for me about my SC?
The bypass valve they installed is hooked up to the rear boost port not the vacuum port. I asked them and they said they have 2 bypasses. One with a heaver spring and i had the light spring one and to leave it in the rear port and splice in my boost Vac gauge. I don't really like that. I want to use the capped port the other heavy one goes in and just have the gauge on the rear port. Can the bypasses be changed? How do they adjust them? I there is a sticker on the bypass saying not to touch it as its adjusted from the factory. Im also getting horrible gas mileage. 12mpg from 18. and thats not getting into the boost. I have the stock Magnuson tune in it. A friend of mine said that when I got on it and he was behind me he smelled unburnt fuel.
My wb af gauge reads 10.5 at full throttle and 14.3-15 crusing.
