new CPE downpipe!!!!!

[18psiWhiteMS3]

i just noticed CPE has a new designed downpipe with cast bellmouth and exhaust hangers. i want catless so bad but dont wanna loose performance due to CEL's. im torn between catless and catted. do u gain much hp from a catback? Does the car loose power from the catless CEL

you will not lose hp with the CEL and catless....if anything, you will gain a few hp over the catted setup

i would say go with the catted setup...you only lose 2-3whp according to cp-e...and you won't have to worry about any CELs....

From what I've read...there is little performance difference between cat and catless.

i have the catted cp-e dp and i still get CEL's, they wont affect the performance.

Your car smoking?

the rear o2 sensor is slightly responsible for relaying fuel trim information to the ecu. you will run slightly richer with a CEL on and catless exhaust...Some call it "limp mode"...I've done the datalogging and so have others, a CEL from a catless exhaust does indeed affect your fuel trim....(smoke)

you shouldn't be getting a CEL...something is wrong if you do with the cp-e catted
