I've had the Fabspeed resonated xpipe w/Fabspeed high flow cats now for almost 8-9K miles and I'm using the supplied O2 extenders. Driven in temperatures ranging from 10F to 90F at loads from a track day to normal day-to-day driving and the CEL has not come on at all. I have a Powerchip stage I tune (which does NOT remove the CEL, stage II does).
Everyone keeps saying it will come on eventually, but I doubt it at this point.

I hope you do not get the check engine light, I'm speaking from experience. It was a real pain in the ass. My car wouldn't rev passed 2k and it wouldn't go passed 10 mph. I had to have it towed to a garage. :/

Sounds false to me. Especially since it would take hours of time to complete this operation.

When I did bring up that concern with Powerchip, they did confirm that a prior employee used to do that, but they are no longer employed. Something about how someone from Powerchip left the company to make his own company or something and "hacking" the flash to just turn off the light. I'm not exactly sure, I don't remember. Maybe someone from Powerchip can chime in.

This is a interesting topic?!
I would also like to no more about these extensions! I'm running the full IPE F1, and my CEL just came on. I plugged in my OBD2 to reset it, and now it's good to go. I have to smog it soon, so i hope it won't come back on during the test : |

bumping this old thread, instead of starting a new one..
is the consensus that dinan stage 2 with an x-pipe does not show readiness? I am also in MD, so need to pass inspection without any fuss..also, don't want a CEL. I'm considering picking up a car that that already has dinan stage 1, so upgrading to stage 2 and adding an x-pipe seems to be a very strong value. |

BPM does not force readiness. They just block the code. Not all readiness monitors will come on.
