Default Test Pipes w/ mod still CEL

Installed test pipes, which are awesome by the way, did non-fouler mod, still get CEL. Is there anything else I can do or just f-it? Thanks

I did the install myself. It's an '05. I have the Berk test pipes with built in O2 fix. Here are the best pics I have w/o lifting the car again.





Also installed JWT intake...

are they brand new? because Berk test pipes have the built-in CEL fix that ~95% effective. but if they are brand new then give it some time. i installed my Berks brand new and had the CEL on at first but in a week or 2 it goes away and your good.

Yeah, they're brand new. Why is that though? Why would it just go off and stay off? It's just a pipe. What will change?

I don't know why it does it but it does. I put mine on brand new and the CEL was on and in about a week or 2 it will settle in and it will go away for good. Ive had mine on for ~9k and no CEL since that.

Fair enough. I guess I'll just wait and see. I didn't think there was anything else I could do. I honestly don't care about the CEL, but I thought that it probably would be best if it was off so that if an actual problem did occur then I would know.

You can get the code checked too, just to be sure it is the emissions code and not something else..

For instance, I used some anti-lock on the threads of my non-foulers and damaged the sensors. Throws a voltage type code.
