i just checked the site and it states test pipe only. did you purchase the o2 fix seprately?

anyone running the megan test pipe without a CEL?

I didn't feel safe with it in the test pipe, because it was angled towards the ground. My CEL hasn't come up once since I installed it btw.
sorry but, whats a non-fouler?

Look up the cheater fix in the forum I'm sure there is a how to somewhere..
I bought mine at Advance Auto. The guy don't even know what an O2 Fouler is Anyways, he told me that it doesn't make sense to cheat the O2... Took mine to Ace Hardware and they drill it for $2. Cost me about $7 total.

Got a question for those who already install their O2 fouler. Do you have to use two of them???

I have the Megan one as well, I paid less than $50 new, it is resonated and it matchs my espelir dp. Just buy the cheapest one, don't waste your $

^You stack the 2 non-foulers and then the o2 sensor. On a different note though, will the megan tp work on an evo9? I checked the megan site and it says 'evo 8'. Anyone want to chime in?

Yup, Megan test pipe fits the IX just fine. I have the full Megan turbo back on my IX MR. It does throw a cel so you need to do the mechanical fix or have your tuner program it out.

You should look at the ultimate racing test pipe. It has a built in test pipe so you don't have to worry about anything else. Its like 75-85 shipped last I checked. I run it on my car and have never had a problem.

Cheers!!

Wait, the test pipe has a built it test pipe or CEL fix? So I should sell my test pipe that works fine and has a fix installed to buy another one that has the fix built in?

Exactly how I did mine. I haven't had a CEL for the o2 sensor in years.

Sorry I was on my phone when i posted. I accidentally quoted you....

That was meant for the OP...


Instead of buying a testpipe then buying a cel fix... Just do it in one shot. I'm trying to find a pic of it for the OP since their website sucks.

Cheers!
