Question,
one of the bolts holding my 'test pipe' to my header is MIA, but the flange isn't really loose at all, if there is a small leak there could this be causing a problem?

uhh yea, think about it, your motor sucks in air, then simply stated, burns the oxygen out of it. so what is comming out your exhaust is oxygen deprived. a leak of air before the wideband will allow oxygen rich (compared to the exhaust gases) gases in the stream. I would imagine that since faster moving air creates a lower pressure, that why it 'breaks up' at high rpm is that at high rpm you are creating a faster flow thru your exhaust. thus a small leak would be more apt to let more air in.

the intake should have NO effect on how lean/rich I'm running since honda's are MAP cars, the ECU should be taking care of it.

bleh...im too used to not running an o2 i forget that people still have them lol. Oh well, next time ill think before i post in EM.
wait, but at WOT it doesnt run in closed loop so maybe im half right?

I will throw on new hardware on flange behind the O2 *since only one bolt is on there now* after I get my grand prix started.

Honda runs ther NA cars in the low to flat 12's from the factory, and since an intake doesn't do ---- for power you swing at most 0.03 AFR leaner. That's why you don't notice anything. :P
