So my SES light came on just now. Will take it to autozone to see if they can read it.

edit: so I guess it's illegal for autopart stores to read these codes now says the cashier.
It is if you have an exhaust that has flex sections like our Invidia. People have been cracking Invidias using test pipes or HFCs without the brace. Getting a replacement flex section. Cracking that in a month. Getting another and then reinstalling the brace and never experiencing another crack again.

There's a thread about this from esfourteen. You have to install the brace back on.

Edit: And notice how everyone talking about rattles has an Invidia? It's no coincidence. Without the brace, you're putting too much stress on the exhaust's flex sections.
