I intalled GTM resonated test pipes and got the code after 93 miles. Got my car tuned and asked my tuner to turn off the cat codes and I haven't seen it since. Almost 4k miles later and no light. If you have gone so far as to remove your cats why wouldn't you just get a tune? I payed around $500 picked up 12HP 7TQ and gained a load of gas mileage. The car accelerates so much smoother now and the power is awesome.

 

not everyone is right around the corner from the local tuner.

 

True dat. I'm separated by ocean and some islands from Oahu's tuners. No local Osiris tuner here.

 

Exactly. there are only a couple of codes to disable.

 

Sorry guys I didn't think that some people don't have tuners around them. I guess us socal people are lucky.

 

I had the same issue with Stillen HFCs, COBB AccessPORT was able to clear the codes without any problems.

 

I don't think they have the COBB access port for the HR...do they?? I might be wrong....

 

They DID, but they discontinued it, I was lucky enough to get one right before they stopped. However, you might be able to contact COBB and see if there is another way.

 

Does anyone know why Cobb discontinued this product. Makes me think it could be for a good reason.

 

I just don't think it was worth it for them to continue supporting it from a financial standpoint.

That being said, after extensive research on tuning for the HR, I decided to stay away from the Cobb due to some oddities about it. For example, they heavily advise against using intakes with their published tunes and claim it will make the car run lean. That scares me a little. You can download or even make custom tunes and use the Cobb AP to utilize them, but by the time you go through that trouble it's just as easy and almost as cost effective as a $600 professionaly done custom UpRev Osiris tune.

 

did u ever come up with the fix... sorry for revive the dead thread... ima order some berk pipes..

 

i went to autozone and grabbed some steel wool instead of brillo pad. im going on over a year now without no problems. i jacked my car up the other night and pulled the o2 sensors to see how the wool looked it was still compacted like the day i put it in there.

 

^yea mine threw a code once and then it went away on its own (same code without the steel wool mod). I havent had problems since, however i did recently trade my stillen HFC's for Invidia TP's and i installed the defoulers on those too, havent driven the car enough to see if it works on these.

I kind of regret getting these TPs though ughhh, the fitment on the passenger side wasnt 100% and it hangs a bit low, might be because i have stillen headers but i do have the invidia TD gemini catback so i duno, fitment SHOULD be nice...kinda dissapointed but meh whatever...

 

Sry bumpin old thread, just checking to see if anything else new works.
