why does a 3" downpipe cause the CEL to come on? Thats gay.
reason is because most downpipes eliminate the cat. So theres where it commes from

But what if you put on a high flow cat? Why would it come on then?

beacuse a hi flow cat is less restrictive so the rear o2 sensor will get a higher reading so it will sense that you have a bad cat.

it depends on the type to, because there are some high flows i believe that are designed to still do all the emmisions control and allow it to breathe allittle better, but i doubt those will give you anywhere near the less restrictive ones. I would just go with a straight through system and either an 02 sim or what jeff is trying out

I have a 3" turbo back system and I have never had the CEL go on. The only time it went on for me was when I had a misfire.
