do the obx headers remove any any of the cats (no pun)

[SlimMilkMan327]

I was wondering, I was going to have the dealership install the obx headers, and they were wondering if it took any of the cats off, so I wasn't sure, they said if it did then they would be illegal. So anyone that has bought this product, pleasee give me some info

Did you try a search? That has been answered 1.5 million or so times.

And to answer your question YES.

 

[SlimMilkMan327]

well thanx for the answer, but the reason I asked was because I talked to a mazda mechanic and he said that if you take the cat off you will always have a "check engine soon" light on and I was wondering if anyone has experienced that or not

You will get a CEL because of the missing cat, but there is a how to in the "How To" section that shows how you can wire a resistor and a capacitor into the 2nd o2 to not have a CEL

dont let the dealership instal it, its easy, there are how-tos for instaling the header. and yes you will get teh cel light and waht jeph said there is a section for the how to, to get rid of it. i havent done it yet cause my light still hasnt come on yet but i have been driving around for about 500 mles on it already. its awesome good gains too.

 

[SlimMilkMan327]

ya I can't wait to get it on, I just don't want that check engine light to come on lol

 

[Mike R]

there is also a way to get rid of the CEL without cutting the wiring...I have it on my car ad it works great...

ya I can't wait to get it on, I just don't want that check engine light to come on lol

boy!! you're all about the search tonight aren't you haha lol (wow)

 

[Jeph]

I refered to the how to already, and you DO have to cut a wire to solder in the resistor. then tap into another wire...

 

[Auzzie_Mp3]

yeah i think the wagner is emmsions legal right, still keeps the cat

where did you order them from, if you don't mind me asking

 

[Jeph]

www.protegegarage.com has them $239 shipped

 

[GreenPic]

why does everyone refer to a header in the plrual tense? (headers) id understand that if we had v6's or v8's under our hoods, seeing how those require 2 headers, but we have I4 instead. so theres only one header for our application.

im not ranting, just asking.

 

[Jeph]

protegegarage has THEM because they have multiple
therefore header becomes plural

 

[Jeph]

lol, nm i see the headers
