They are coming real soon!! anyone runnin a test pipe how do you keep your CEL off? Everyone seems to be doin it a different way these days...

Elliott18t · 04-07-2009, 03:56 PM

im probably going back for the stg2 file later lol. cat delete.. Im gonna have to buy a DP w/ a cat eventually soon though.

Brazen06 · 04-07-2009, 04:02 PM

man i cant imagine what my car would sound like uncatted...its nice being quiet...though i must say my cammed 6.0L had no cats and it was music to my ears...lol

Elliott18t · 04-07-2009, 04:06 PM

IIRC the 1.8t cats are pretty high flow in the first place so it won't make too much difference in sound, or at least thats what Ive read. I got my DP first and had that w/ stock exhaust and there really wasn't too much increase in sound. now even w/ the cat back and everything my car still really isn't that loud.. my turbo is though lol.I was behind my friends Mustang GT (steeda exhaust) on 309 and he said he could hear me :O

tdmopar59 · 04-07-2009, 11:33 PM

our stg 1+ files don't have a cat delete programmed in do they?

Elliott18t · 04-07-2009, 11:40 PM

what boost you run?

Brazen06 · 04-08-2009, 02:54 PM

20lbs, the only time you can really hear it is at full boost...but compared to my old srt-4 its still quiet...lol

Elliott18t · 04-08-2009, 02:56 PM

hmmm these little k03s scream all the way to 20 psi lol. at least mine has always seemed loud.. Turbo inlet pipe probably helps.

Brazen06 · 04-08-2009, 03:11 PM

I know the intake material has alot to do with it. An aluminium intake would be louder but holds a lil more heat, I had one on the SRT which is probably why it was so loud. Not to mention the 3" catless dump i had on that car...lol I guess the smaller turbo is spinning faster which makes a lil more noise

Renegade_ · 04-08-2009, 03:14 PM

You can use a spacer on the 02 sensor to keep the cel away

tdmopar59 · 04-08-2009, 04:10 PM

I think I'm jus gonna go uni stage 2 in a lil while... i gotta save up for injectors first though (audi's and dubs vary on injectors)

tdmopar59 · 04-09-2009, 03:32 PM

1.8t with a test pipe is a lot louder then with a cat. my cat had 30k on it when i put my tp on, it was night and day.

for your 05 of keeping it off, with the wide band used as the rear 02, sacing doesnt help, its too sensitive. you're stuck having it wrote out in a tune. at least, we havent found another way

kinda late i kno

tdmopar59 · 04-19-2009, 11:47 PM

i am savin loot for a test pipe injectors and stage 2 tune... but I'm broke haha

That doesn't always work on these cars. The only way to keep the CEL away is coding it out in the software, which would be an option that we can put in when getting flashed.
