cars broke again

[Injuneer]

Not quite true. I have a 95 "california-spec emessions" that is dual cat.

CA Emissions A4's ONLY had the dual cats.

ALL the M6 cars were 50-state legal, with a single cat.

DHolmes has an M6, so he has a single cat.

Its going to be very hard to fits long tube headers, without moving that snigle cat, since it is right under the bump on the floorboards in front of the passenger seat. There is not enough room to swing the Y-pipe from the collector on the driver's side header to meet up with the passenger side branch of the Y-pipe, and still keep the cat in the stock location.

Headers are legal in CA, only if they have the CARB-EO tag, with the CARB order # welded to the headers. I'm not aware of any LT's that have CARB approval.

All 95's, CA or 49-state or 50-state are equipped with an OBD-I PCM and the OBD-II style ALDL connector. There are no exceptions, and no OBD-II 95's.

Yeah If there is a Set of LT headers with a Carb# let me know. Im sure they would be damn expensive.

There it is.

The best choice would be 50 state legal shorties, high flow Y pipe keeping the cat in the stock location.

So what was it. Thats all they told you? That its the suspension? hmm. If it only does it in 6th then I dont know considering the Tranny just got replaced. Your wheels are balanced and everything.

I had a feeling the didnt test drive the cars to 6th gear and i was right ,ill keep u guys posted

This does not make any sense.

thanks ill get some shorty's and sell the longtubes,there off a crashed A4 camero,

My brother had the shortys. Get that and a "Random Tech" Y-pipe. Or keep your y-pipe. Forgot you only have one Cat.

[DHolmes]

they dont test drive the cars fast or long enough to get into 6th gear,therefore they never felt the shaking in 6th, he thought it was the suspension from (the ride we took togather),ill get a more exact answser at 530 later,the longtubes i got for free were off my friends dads 96 A4 camero z28 later

You got headers off your friends dad's Camera? That must be one kool camera if it had headers? ha ha ha.. Sell those suckers on Ebay.

[DHolmes]

hahahhahahha, i just fixed that while u were posting,i was hoping no one would clown before i fixed it hahaqhahahhaha later

[DHolmes]

Do u guys think I should be POed at the shop For not fixing the problem or for not test driving the car in the gear (6th) i was having the problems in?Im getting frustrated closer it gets to 530,cause thats when i find out what the problem is ,that there finally checking because i forced the owner to go on a drive with me and feel the problem in 6th?

[DHolmes]

shop told me that my 6th gear is for 90 mph and plus driving,and the problem doesn't happen at that speeds,I guess i was trippen ive never had a 6th speed before,then he told me i should get chassis work done cause my car has to much power and is hard to keep on the ground and control?oh they tightened up my suspension for free,thats what was makin the interior noise not my carjack later

90+? Man seriously they are retarded. I use my 6th every time I drive even if its in the city. You do not want to be going 80mph in 5th. thats like over 2300rpms. No good. I cruise at about 80mph in 6th every single day going to work. Do you have some SubFrame Connectors? If you dont I recommend them. Stiffen up the whole Body.

That's pretty much what every one here has been telling you all along. 6th gear is for high speed driving, and if you're feeling shaking at low rpms in 6th, you're using it at too low of an rpm. Suspension work is a must with any kind of mods on these cars.

[DHolmes]

I dont know what subframe connecters are,but thats what they told me,Ive noticed that too though, it wont shake at higher speeds going 85 and higher,it only shakes when acclerating from anything below 80, I can cruise at a steady speed under 85 no problem but when i try to acclerate in 6th it shakes ????????":??

[Dave M]

Subframe connectors are bars that run from the front of the frame to the back, and tie it all together to help stiffen the chassis. They help keep the car from bending and twisting under severe foces such as cornering or acceleration. It helps remove squeaks and rattles that are the result of this twisting and bending.

There are two types, weld on and bolt on. Weld on are stronger and cheaper initially, but harder to install. You'll likely have to pay to have them installed. Bolt on connectors are initially moe expensive, and slightly less strong, but easier to install. Someone willing to put a little elbow grease into it could install them themselves.

Thanks Dave ill check that out, later
