installed the up & down pipes
installed the up pipe and I got a CEL - is the simplest fix getting a resistor like this guy did (5th post down)? > http://www.scoobymods.com/best_damn_...ipe-t6649.html
Also installed a thermal wrapped downpipe and it is touching a hose that I believe is an AC water hose. You can kind of see it in this image http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...tBellmouth.jpg
....it's to the left of the DP, a black hose coming out of the firewall.
My question is, do I need this? I smelt a little rubber burning/melting today while I was stopped at a light.

yeah the resistor will fix it, or you could use em to get rid of the code.
the black drain hose not really important. you can trim it back if you want or try and redirect it away from the downpipe.

Use a 2.2k ohm 1/2 watt resistor. You can buy a package of 5 for $1.00 at your local Radio Shack. As scoobymods thread suggests, trim back the ends a bit so it doesn't stick out. After I covered the connector with electrical tape, I just pushed it back into the grommet with all the other wires. Then I reinstalled the black rectangular cover. Now it looks inconspicuous. And most importantly no CEL.

My drain hose started to get deformed just sitting 4-5mm away from the DP. When I Thermal wrapped the DP, the hos is even closer and sometimes is touching the DP. But the heat coming off the wrap is not hot enough to burn the hose now. Is that a 6 speed you got in there?

No, I do not have a 6-speed (i wish though). Standard 02 wagon, that's all.

Oh, I just haven't looked at my trans in a while(forgot what it looked like). Also, do you see where it's burning on the hose? I too smelled burning through my vents and saw smoke coming from that section of the engine bay. Turned out to be my valve cover gasket and little half circle seal on the back of the head where the up and down pipe give off a lot of heat. Just a thought.

^ I think he is talking about the CEL that might come from your DP.. from teh looks of it in your pic, it looks like a catless DP, is that correct?
If it is catless, you will throw another cel for the DP (even with the O2 sensor in it)
If its not catless, then you prolly wont have a CEL from it
Make sure to do it right, there is a pretty specific way where you have to leave the battery disconected for like 12hrs or something like that
