xpipe and o2 extenders

OneSickM · 01-31-2017, 12:48 AM

I know this topic has been discussed to death however, I noticed most who tried it out don't report back for feedback. I am not looking to get a tune to get rid of CEL so please lets not go to that route.

Would O2 extenders/spacers work on our cars if I install cat-less xpipe?

They did not work for me.

Its hit or miss, they didn't work for me. I noticed if you drive the car hard and try to stay above 3k rpm it will delay the SES light. Its when you putz around it will throw the SES.

Fabspeed xpipe that has high-flow HJS cats paired with their O2 extenders works! Tune is not required and CEL will not illuminate.

Sorry but just curious why are you against a tune?

I don't want to start a debate but simply because I don't trust someone tampering with stock ecu claiming it is reliable and give extra xx hp

That's a silly notion nowadays considering the thousands running tunes by many well known tuners. A quick CEL tune is child's play. It can be done remotely in your own garage..

If you're still set on going against what common wisdom suggests, also check out an Akrapovic Delete-R. It plugs into the OBD port and works more reliably than spacers etc.
