Running Lean?

[blkmcnasty]

I just finished installing a summit o/r h, which by the way made my passenger side exhaust tip recess behind the bumper and now looks like shit (horrible fitment). But anyways when i pulled the O2 sensors to put on the new pipe, the drivers side was black on the end and the passengers side O2 was pure white! What the hell does that mean and how do i fix this?

Loosen up the clamps and fix your tailpipes, it's not uncommon that you would have to do that...

Ok but what is with the O2 sensors being charred up and different colors?

Not many exhaust setups in this world fit 100% perfect. You usually have to fvck with them a little.

ones burning clean, the other is a little worse obviously. Leans not always bad, lean is fast, to lean is deadly.. lol. Your car will be fine. If anything your lacking or getting to much fuel on one side more then the other

would the one side be running more lean because of clogged injectors or is it an ecu fault? I could also just be paranoid becuase the car runs so smooth and strong, never any misfires or stumbles at all!

I wouldn't worry about it then. The only way to truly know if its running lean is to have a wideband on the car and check. Otherwise it's a sniff here, look there type of deal as to the A/F ratio

I think you're paranoid, that's why I didn't answer to begin with.
