ARM Catted DP + CEL

davcohen

Ready to race!
Needing to take my car to the dealership for the Manifold recall, hopefully its actually covered if not by the recall under the 5yr/ 60k powertrain warranty as its a 2013 but in service date started late 2014 and it has only 38k.


Anyway I specifically chose the ARM Catted DP to avoid any issues with the CEL, I had it fitted at a local shop who owed me a favor and within 25 miles I get the CEL for post cat, I had them install a new factory gasket as a precaution at the time it was installed.


After reading a few peoples posts it appears that I gotta check everything is bolted up tight or I have to get a spacer, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue with a catted DP?


Wondering if this will pull the sensor far enough away to cancel out the CEL?

If it's a high flow cat you'll still get a cel, either need a spacer or the OEM exhaust probably

no mater if its catless or catted it will throw a CEL either get a o2 spacer to try avoid it for the time being. but either way you will need to get a tune for it eventually

i have a tune to get rid of the cel, i throw in the spacer when its time for inspection and go back to stock tune, while im on the stock tune i noticed if you take it easy and dont do many aggressive pulls, you will not get a cel.
