What we have found is that things vary from car to car. Our test car is still running CEL free after 2 years. With both the catted and catless setup.



Are you sure it is a engine engine code? If the light is on you should be able to read a code. Maybe try a hand basic scanner.
RV6-the test car doesn’t have a Hondata or KTuner?

I heard a rattle the other day...turns out my downpipe broke where it holds the hear shield...so odd. Never had an issue with rv6 before on my RLX.

I installed it back last November

Heat cycles does weird things to stainless. Barely any force is applied to to the tab. We started welding the tabs on the front and back using titanium infused filler material. We apologize for the inconvenience just shoot us a email and we will send you a return label.

At the time of the testing we didn't have our ECU jail broken. However we still leave the O2 sensor enabled to make sure things are working properly.

Haha, that’s really cool. I know there was a certain manufacturer of fidget spinners that would send their spinners in packing material that consisted of a lot of shredded paper and Jolly Ranchers :p

For the Catless downpipe which has not given you any CEL, are you using a defouler?

Not sure if this can be fixed or not. My ceramic coated DP has lost all the mounting welds for the heat shield. Can this be repaired? I have had a rattle noise forever and finally figured it out.
