Anyone running turbo back straight pipe?
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?

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'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.

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.

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:
