Blue Headers

[acidcrashdburnd]

The SSAC's I put on my car are a dark blue color. I think that means the car is running lean, but I just wanted to confirm this. When I go WOT I get 10:1 for commanded according to Torque for Android, but I can't trust that and I don't have a wide band yet and I am using a ZZP top swap tune :th_shakinghead1:

Do you have a video of your exhaust?

Do you have a video of your exhaust?

No video till I get a bigger resonator, too raspy I can get pictures!

They change color no big deal

Have you eve taken a knife and heated it up with a lighter?

What color does it turn?

Headers are made of 304 stainless, after many heat cycles the metal turns colors, soon it will look all rainbow like.

10.1 AFR is FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR from lean, thats boarder line stupid rich.

Only way to tell true commanded AFR and Real Time AFR is with a Tuner and Wideband o2 sensor.


So in short, everything is normal.

I dont see why that would reflect a lean condition

I wasnt sure, dont want to melt a piston. And yeah i know 10:1 is super rich just dont know if i can trust that torque app. Better safe than sorry i guess.

Stainless turns colors like stated...most likely they will stay a blue-ish gold color for their lifetime now.

Elements r a crayyyzeee thang.

Commanded afr means nothing until you correct the maf etc etc so that a wideband reads the commanded. Until then..you honestly don't know what your AFR truly is. Closest thing would be to look at the mV of your from O2.
