Avoid DrVanos for a bit. They have some quality control issues. I'll post a thread later.
Unit is rusting after only 15 months.

They have always done that... They media blast every unit they get. That's what it's from. Just hit those solenoid a with clear coat or silver before installing and you'll be fine

Nobody mentioned it to me before I bought and installed it.
Anyway, DrVanos said they may start doing this themselves soon.

Need to keep up with the boards! ;-)
Don't know why they don't.

Does anyone ever replace their post-cat o2 sensors as a PM item? In researching, it seems like the pre-cats are usually the only sensors replaced.

No one normally does that because all they do is monitor the cats
