Look at my new toy, is on the way to me!!!

It supposed to bolt on to the stock exhaust or the invidia exhaust, they told me is 2.5 inches and if it doesnt fit I get full return of my money I only loose the shiping.

 

 

is that the GGR one?

 

yeah!

 

Not trying to worry you, but you might throw a CEl with that!!
100cpi cat

 

I know that but if that happens I will put an extender to the O2 sensor.

 

Fair enough
Ive actually done that on mine (im full de-cat) and my CEL comes on and off... more on than off unfortunately :( But it doesnt affect the way the car drives, its just annoying having the light on!
Maybe if I extended it further?

 

They told me two different options

1. Put and extender.
2. Take out the second 02 sensor and close the dp hole and leave the sensor breathing fresh air.

 

I actually thought about doing option 2 myself! I wonder if it would work, i mean if you think about it, it makes sense. The 02 sensor will be reading fresh air so it will think that the catalyst is doing a FANTASTIC job at cleansing the air and shouldnt throw a CEL?
Id be really interested to try this, just need a way of doing it
FYI - i tried simply unplugging the rear 02 sensor from the ECU, it didnt like it very much! Threw a CEL after about 20miles of driving, it went away when I plugged it back in though But if you kept it plugged in at the ECU end but just tied it up somewhere under the car, this should technically speaking work?
Anyone tried this?

 

I have a friend that did the same on his RSX type S and it worked

 

Interesting... I will have a go at doing this and see if my light goes off!
IIRC my R53 was done like this (that was also de-cat) and I never had any CEL light issues there
I believe the company who did my de-cat (GTT from the UK) just tied the 02 sensor up in a plastic bag (to protect it from the rain etc) under the car somewhere and then fitted a 'bung' into the manifold opening where it had been originally...
I will try this this weekend and report back

fingers(and toes) crossed

 

Interesting i have bought a full de-cat the same as in the picture, its from a french tuner and should be here by the end of the week, i am going down the anti-fouler route in order to "hopefully" not throw a cell! time will tell im well excited.

That's awesome fern!

Keep us updated on everything....and give us videos asap!

 

That didn't solve my cel, so may not work.

 

You have the 3 Alta down pipe??

It looks like its going to happen anyway so why worry!

Somebody told me that some 07 model are less restrictive and they less sensitive.

Next mod oil catch can!

 

It's going to sound go good!

My Invidia is broken right now, they rear section (with the muffler) somehow disconnected itself, so due to lack of time to rear attached it I just took it off.

Currently running a straight pipe.

 

Nice, how does it sound?

Thats a good idea for the track!!!

 

Not too bad...

Not as loud as you'd think and believe it or not, no drone on the freeway, and nearly silent at idle.

Not as refined sounding as I'd like but thats to be expected with no muffler!

 

If you have testing in your state then that 100 cel cat will fail with the quickness.

On some cars you can remove the sensor from the exhaust stream and it works, in this one I dont think it will because it will be to sensitive.

Also not having a cat or having a cat that does not filter enough is not the only reason you trigger a cel. If your sensors does not reach operating temperature with in x amount of time it will trigger a cel too (on some cars) so by having it totally out of the system it will not heat up quick enough.

The sensor has a heating element inside to warm up but the exhaust gases get it to temperature quicker with in x amount of time.

 

What happens with the people that you have sell them downpipes without cat? They just leaver the sensor in place because they are going to get a cel anyway.

If the cel light turns on It doesnt bother, with the emision test I have no problem at all..

 

Those who i sell a catless DP i tell them straight up, I dont promise that you will not get a check engine light. YOu have 20 year old, heck i even had a 18 year old and they dont care about CEL etc. Then you have some who track their car who dont care also.

 

let us know how it goes! and def hit me up about the catch can!! cant wait for results

 

You guys are going to force me to have to invest in the tooling to make that OEM flange i see!

 

hector, if you make that direct bolt on DP, BOTH me AND THUMPER want one. assuming he still does =]

 

I dont know, that guy scares me with a name like thumper.
