Ok guys bare with me here this is my first injected stang. I tried a search but had too many hits. I'm going to get an off road X pipe and need to know what I need to do to run the X pipe. As far as the EGR system, the check engine light. Is there an EGR tube I need to do some thing with? Any responses would be great.
Off road X pipe ?

You don't need to mess with the EGR because it on the exhaust manifold and replacement headers should have one at the correct location. You will need a MIL elimenator for the O/R x-pipe or you will throw code errors.

Bender,
If you are going to do a CHIP anytime soon.. they program them to handle the rear O2 sensors.. so you wouldn't need the Mil Elims. I'm going to keep mine if I have to pull my chip and run without it for several days.

i just put an off road X on (VRS) a couple of days ago, and so far no check engine light. although i have heard it takes some miles before the light comes up. all i did was keep the battery off while doing the xpipe.
That's the funny part about the CEL and the Mils... On my 2001 it took about 6 miles for them to go on. Ford reset them for me and it went back on in about 10 miles. So I did the Mil Elims... and it cleared by itself. With the Mil Elims on the 2003 from jumpstreet no issues.
be prepared for a loud exhaust!!! The O/R X-pipe is real loud especially when combined with an aftermarket catback! I would suggest getting a chip to turn off the rear o2 sensors! Your going to want to get one anyway and it allways works! I've heard several people complain on the net about the mil eliminators not working!
