Every x-pipe that is bolt-on will either eliminate or replace the primary cats (due to the primary cats and secondary cats being one piece). Eliminating them will definitely trigger a CEL, and replacing them with HFC's will *most likely* cause a CEL eventually.

The only way to ensure no CEL and to pass OBD2 readiness tests is to NOT touch the primary cats, which means cutting the factory exhaust system.

PM me if you have any more qs.
