Just wanted to see if there is anyone running a straight pipe (no cat, nothing) exhaust. Is the check engine light on? Any way to get around it? I have an IX GSR and wanted to get this done but don't want a CEL. Any recommendations?

 

man you gotta search...theres a o2 defouler that will throw off the readings so you wont have a CEL...almost every vendor on here sell them

thats just an example check out the vendors

 

LOL. I think a lot of people run this setup. I run a test pipe with greddy cat-back. No cel, but I tuner turned off monitor, so no CEL.

 

i have full straight pipe, not cats or muffler and my cel light isnt on

 

With no muffler or cat, its loud as hell btw...

 

I'm running the buschur TBE with test pipe, and I do have a cell but it sounds really mean, and like the others said their is o2 fixes out. Look in the how to section and make a o2 fix for 5 bucks, or go through one of the venders.

 

just get an 02 simulator brO, i think alot of us have straight pipes on here without the CEL lol GL

 

Yeah I run straight pipes too. It's an easy fix to get the cel off, just go to autozone and buy two spark plug defoulers one might even do the trick. It basically is a spacer that goes between your o2 sensor and the exhaust gas so it doesn't read properly.

 

Awesome, thanks for all the input guys! I'll look into these defoulers.

 

Get two spark plug non foulers put em together and attach it between the exh and the 02 and ull be good. U can getg em at any parts store

 

+1

 

Invidia sells a test pipe with a "mini cat" in it. Just enough to not set off CEL. Haven't heard any reviews on it though. Seems like an easier option since you need a test pipe anyways.

Here's a link to it:
