Not desperate at all! I'd love a tailpipe tester to tune mine...exhaust seems too hot coming out the back.

You can get a gauge at advanced auto for about 30 bucks that will connect to any 1, 2, or 3 wire O2 sensor, which can be cheap. Weld a bung in the exhaust and connect it to tune, then take the gauge out. Later, you can connect it under the hood to see how the car is doing during tune ups.

Hrmm, i might do that too. Even if everything is fine, it'd be nice to KNOW that.
