Hey everyone just a quick question, I am planning for a new invidia n1 exhaust system, and also a cat delete, but doing this would give me an engine light correct? Is there anyway that this could be bypassed? Thanks!
Yes, CAT delete will give you a code, the CAT creates a variation between the two O2 sensors, if that variation isn't there it will give you a code. Sometimes a O2 extender that pulls the post CAT sensor out of the direct stream will work, sometimes not.
There's no reason to delete a cat completely. Do the world a favor and put a high flow in at least. No cat on a car can have a nasty resonation noise. 4 cylinders in particular. I even ran a high flow cat on my 560whp race car because I hated the sound of the straight pipe.
I run no cats on my JCW. OBX headers, had the exhaust shop make me a delete pipe, 90* adapter to fool the computer. No codes. Sounds sweet. I get many compliments.
Full JCW exhaust with No modification, btw. don't remove the resonator.
Video for thought. My car does like to make fire some times
