Thanks! Good info to know

Hope it works out, this was the reason I held off on doing them. Let us know what the answer is and let's document the steps so everyone knows exactly what to do to fix this.

Thanks for being first on this one again.

I'm not sure how the High-Flow cats affect the O2 sensor extender workaround. I have no cats and the solution works just fine (i.e. no CELs).

Put some more miles on your headers and see if that clears things up. There's no harm to the car with the lights on.

Mont Paul at PPE said the high flow cats are actually supposed to help in not getting codes. It was the P0430 code. Hopefully more miles and it will go away..

Had to chime in and say im really liking these headers, the car feels like it wants to go faster at take off and i swear it has more torque. Others chime in and let me know where you are feeling the most power gains?

I had that same error code (obviosly without headers). It was bank 2 O2 sensor that needed replaced. Lexus wanted like $600 for it. I made them fix it for free because my car was in for a recall the day before, I picked it up and the light was on. Is it possible the O2 sensor was damaged during installation?
