What is a Snifer pipe?

Comes from the exhaust manifold so you can monitor emissions from under the bonnet without sticking the probe in the exhast pipe.

and you can't simply stick a probe up the exhaust on a G60 'cos it's got a Cat which will screw up the readings... hence the sniffer pipe... ;) If you've de-catted the car, you can remove the pipe and simply use a bolt with the correct thread to bung up the hole... (or if you're feeling clever, stick in a second lambda sensor and wire it to a A/F meter! ;) :lol: )
