You wont get any CEL's as long as you plug the o2 sensor in the the pipes. We're doing a group buy right now on Mine's test pipes, and Amuse test pipes which dyno'ed at 14hp in hyper rev. Heres a link if you're interestd in the GB.

The only ones worth getting are from LSDUnique. I have some and they are very worth it. Super construction, less expensive than all the other brands. I had my dealer check the A/F ratio and it is spot on. Go with lsdunique. PM him.

Also, when they checked the A/F and bumped the timing they pulled codes and there were none.

I got LSD's cat pipes as well. Professional quality and mandrel bent as well. Pretty cheap price to . I highly recommend lsduniqe 's cat pipes. But whatever you go with, it is a significant improvement
