I have a question for you rev up owners with test pipes. Or those that are more knowledgable then I. I just received a set of megan resonated test pipes. My question is, Do I have to get the non foulers so that i may not throw off a CEL? or do the 06 models not throw codes? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I know the 2 brothers up in glen burnie has these pipes, What did you guys do?

 

Im not sure if Mike or Bob have gotten CEL's yet, if they have I havent heard it. Most 04' and up Z's do though. If you do, no biggie, you can get 02 "foolers" for $20 @ the parts store, or you can live with the CEL....

 

A trick I have used in the past on my cars without cats, is to use spacers so the o2 sensor doesnt get a "full" reading.

 

Did you use washers?

 

I had a CEL for the first few weeks I had the megan test pipes. The other day at the track, I noticed the CEL was gone. Hasnt been on since

 

thanks for the input guys. So should i just install them without the foolers?

 

do 03's have to worry about CELs with test pipes?

 

No, they dont really pay attention to the 2nd set of O2 sensors like later Z's. I had test-pipes for over 30K miles, no issues. BTW Bob-your CEL is now stored in the ECU memory. It wont show up anymore, but if you plugged in a scanner it would be there. Did it come back on after I disconnected the battery for the MREV install?

 

Na, it took about 2 days to come on after the MREV install..
then 2 days ago it went off and didnt come back on

 

Be afraid, be very afraid!



Just kidding man. I've got something to read codes with now so the next time we all meet up we can check your ECU.

 

hell yea, that would be nice
