    hey guys, i recently sold my AP, and now my car is throwing a CEL.. i think it's because of the catless downpipe. do you guys know if i can pass emission like this or can i do something to get rid of the CEL?

    i`m thinking if i revert back to stock it will get rid of the CEL and my crazy eagerness to go WOT.. it's so tempting when you`re around 3K rev and you hear your turbo like crazy :naughty:

    but yea, either i need to get things figured out or someone buy my downpipe!!

    I had one of the CEL resistor fixes laying around. Shoot me a PM if you decide to go that way and I'll see if I can dig it up.

    Go with the spark plug defoulers if you pull a Po420. If you throw the EGT error code put in the 2.2K resistor in the female end of the wiring harness.
