Test pipe

FPenvy

incorrect.

I ran my FI test pipes for a year prior to my tune and never had a CEL.

I have almost 35k miles running FI test pipes and CBE now and never had a CEL.

when you go for quality parts (fast intentions) then you can expect it to work as described.

When you first put the TP on, did the smell bother you?
And does it eventually go away after you break it in?

FPenvy

no love the smell. I smell it even more now with straight pipes. I grew up at the drag strip with my father so that raw exhaust smell, burning rubber, and race gas all seem like home to me lol

no it does not go away. the cats filter ll the poison out of the exhaust (well as best it can) for emission and safety reasons. without the cats all that comes through unfiltered. hence the smell but more so the powahhhhhh

L0L! I'm just say'n that eventually the CEL will come on no matter woot test pipe w/rear 02s installed w/no reflash IF driven for over 500 miles consecutively! That's my guesstimate....Any1 have any real world xperience w/this?

FPenvy

I have never had a CEL. and my only "reflash" was when I got tuned. after my installation of mine I drove it for a year or more. added my intakes and got tuned. have been driving it since then no issues even with straight pipes now I have no CEL.

i'm telling you FI test pipes are the best for sound, power, and no CEL. if it throws a CEL they work with you to fix it.

most CEL's come from people mishandling the o2 sensors and breaking them.

W00+ was ur consecutive mileage w/out a reflash run'n test pipes? A test pipe is a test pipe, who R u try'n to F00L?

FPenvy

yes consecutive mileage. I DD the car except for when it's snowing. that's the only time my car doesn't get miles on it.

i'm not trying fool anyone. you'll have someone from time to time get a CEL with FI tp's, but they will sort it out. again almost every time I've seen it happen it was due to the fact the o2 sensors were not handled properly.
