Hey Guys,

I recently installed the PRL Catless DP/FP Combine for my 10th Gen SI and it drives more like a race car now, LOL. Love the purchase. However, the check engine light came out about like 50 miles after installation. I have the defouler installed too but no sure why the CEL still showed up. Do I need to reflash the ECU using Ktuner. If so, where can i find within Ktuner memo to turn off the CEL or it's automatic?

Thanks!

you need to disable the secondary O2 sensors
defouler doesn't always work
Good to know, just found a deal on the catless PRL DP/FP + PRL "Stage 1" Intake hose + AFE drop in filter for $565. Yay local facebook groups!

How to disable them? I used Ktuner to and disabled P0420 (catalyst efficiency), but the CEL came back again after around 20-30 miles of driving.

Which code do you have?

Just checked, it was the P0139 - O2 sensor slow response,lol. I might have to disable that too.
@KTuner I just recently saw this as a recent add to the code dissable options. What's causing this code?

I'm guessing it's for thoes with the PRL catted pipe :hmm: and the defouler
Even un-catted if a defouler is used, but not positioned properly.

Mine is uncatted with defouler installed, that's why the code showed up. I am pretty sure the defouler is installed properly,lol. Anyway, disabled the code and everything is fine now.

A scanner tool will not delete the code, you will need a tuning solution to be able to do this
