Help~ increased emissions warning.

Hi~ Guys.

I have just installed the full exhaust on my car.

It is catless, so the engine light brighten.

the " increased emissions" warning appear.

I know the reason that is catless.

Does any way can fix this problem to make it disappear forever?

the engine light is annoying........

I believe you can have it coded out. You might check with one of the vendors here. Good luck.

I don't know any catless setup that will not trigger the engine light. You'll need to get a tune I believe. I don't think coding will fix the issue.

Here's a similar issue to yours: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=664907

You will need a tune to prevent the increased emissions warning from being displayed. If you received this error during the first drive after installing your new exhaust, then it is likely because of a damaged oxygen sensor or something else.
