sorry to here about this I've got a DR10 on my licence for being just over the limit I didn't hit anything and i certainly didn't kill anyone/injury anyone theres always a reason behind why something happens mine was i had a stressfull week at work and shouldn't have had that second pint before going home, the only reason i got pulled over was bacause i had a side light out. I'm certainly not trying to justify what happened so please don't get that idea. but i think not everyone can be tarred with the same brush but being plastered at 2 in the afternoon and on her way to a kids party i think

as regards to running 3 cylinders to each header theres only one lambda probe so what you would have to do is put a connecting pipe between the two downpipes and place the lambda probe there otherwise the 3 cylinders you where measuring off could be running fine but the others crap giving you performance and reliability problems. you would probably get other problems with the fact that the probe is measuring o2 content for just 3 cylinders rather than 6. hope thats some help but how you would work the offside exhaust around the fuel tank should be interesting assuming you where gonna an exit o
