There are sensors before and after the catalytic converters that measure how well the catalytic converters are filtering the air. When you replace the cats with High-Flow Cats or Test Pipes, they air doesn't get filtered nearly as much (or at all), so the computer thinks something is wrong and triggers the CEL.

Using power tools to remove the old piping without removing the sensors can ruin the sensors, also triggering a CEL.
THANKS!!!!! I've ordered the Non-Res Cat back FI exhaust. I was concerned about getting the CEL but you've cleared it up. Thanks again!!!!!

Drove mine over 500mi. before tune & no light,,,even after the tune-rear O2's still active.
Just over 3,000mi. on everything since install.....all Good!
Seems as though the exhaust has gotten a bit louder/as i ordered the most resonation possible.

Sorry for the "noob" questions, but when you say "tune" bring my car to a performance shop with a dyno so the ECU can be "flashed" with the new set up?

Thanks!

Do all FI exhaust have this issue with uneven tips? Anyone has a picture? What kind of washers are needed to make them even?

I damaged my FI mufflers a few months ago so I contacted Kevin and ordered new ones. The replacement stainless steel canisters came in, and man, FI never ceases to impress. Shipping was quick (less than a week all the way to Germany), and packaging was top-notch. The mufflers are so beautiful, and the ones on my car are fully functional, so I just might hold off on installing them . Thanks again FI!

Ordered the 12 inch resonated. Order arrived today and i immediately installed....

i have HFCs + F.I. CBE and this car has changed. It sounds so much deeper and it is nice and loud. Whats awesome is when i hit the highway at 65 and put on cruise control couldn't hear a bit of drone. At lower speeds with windows down you may, but dear god does this sound glorious.

No video online does this exhausts sound justice.

Thumbs up

I have received my exhaust today and I have to comment.. Fast Intentions really packages with care and ensures that the exhaust doesn't get dings or damaged while it's being shipped. Great job



I'll upload a detailed high quality video of the exhaust once it's installed since there are really no good videos on youtube besides maybe 1-3. Note: Exhaust videos will not ever compare to how it sounds like in person.
