So does the CEL coming on effect the cars performance? or is just a simple warning light? I can live with the light if the sound/performance gains are worth it. I eventually want to due a tune anyway so its not a big deal to me.

mvagusta · 03-03-2009, 02:43 PM

rpi If I get the x pipe and the straight pipe's with out the rear muffler that you carry and use my existing muffler. What kind of performance gain's can I expect with the front and the mid piping (x Pipe)? Also with getting rid of the front and rear cat's is it going to give me a cel? thanks.

Ape_X · 03-03-2009, 02:57 PM

To the OP.. nice video of you blowing the fuck out of that stop sign! LOL... I'd use a little more discretion next time!

Nice setup by the way, love seeing how many exhausts are out for our cars, its crazy!

LOL!!!

tightie i just check the vids again.... from the inside video, it has that "free flow" sound where you can almost hear the exhaust air pushing its way through the piping... my stebro system made this similiar sound on my e46. is it just the camera or does it actually sound like that in person? Almost sounds like a possible exhaust leak and/or air rushing through the pipes

The CEL will be purely emmissions related. It will have no effect on performance or reliability of the car/engine. The ecu is simply noticing that there is the primary and secondary o2 sensors are reading too similar.

NO clue about the performance. REmember we designed the system as a whole and it was not meant to be mix and matched. With that said, we did dyno just the rear section to see how the performance would be like. You'll never know until you test it out yourself.

There are a group of guys that are in NY that just ordered the gt race exhausts. It would be cool if you guys can do some runs and video them.
