Decat...Will I get CEL?

Featured Replies

ok, so I have fitted the Ninja II back box but on my hawkeye its so quiet, better than stock but still pretty quiet.

 

been to see a guy which makes longlife exhausts and he has offered me straight pipe with o2 sensor in from the downpipe to my backbox for £180

 

or turbo back for £280

 

But I am usure if either of these will give me CEL?

 

the plan is to get it mapped in the future but as I was unable to find out about timing belt I will be doing that and a full service which would of been spent on a remap, so want it as hassle free atm. 

 

 


Its hit and miss really if you will my mates not long put a nuspec on his and had no cel light at all yet I did mine straight away cel light popped up. But not a bad price :-)

hmmmmmmz that didnt help me at all :)

 

think il go for the downpipe back may be safer option and then decat that later with a remap. 

Way it goes sometimes I guess :D same with blow off valves. Some cars can have them others can't :( I always thought you would get a cel light on no matter what when doing it, until my mate did his  :wacko:

hehe

 

I see the PPP pack has the 2nd cat removed tho it may be remapped to ignore I guess.

 

I also have a forge dump valve on its way to me so hopefully wont have problems with that either :)


I removed the up-pipe and centre section cats on my 2003 WRX and no CELS. As soon as I got a Sports cat downpipe I got a CEL within 50 miles, I could clear the emissions related code with a phone app but as soon as I drove it steady on the motorway the sports cat would get cold and throw the CEL again. 

 

I expect a full decat on a Newage will throw a CEL more often. An unmapped decat on an Hawk is pretty risky, especially if you are using 95 or 97 fuel. 

 

I'd like to know how a mapper deals with the 02 Sensor to stop the CEL's.
