I mean the whole idea of the Invidia N1 exhaust is that it has less weight and minor curves for minimum air restriction?!?! Then why did they do a testpipe with CELFIX from inside?!?!?!

You could spit before you get in your car. That will make you lighter and you will gain the horsepower back you lost from the CEL fix.

Should that be funny ?!?!? I mean, even if it's negligible ?!?! what's the point of having it. An external built in non fouler or spacer is better than this, specially that if you read some posts claiming it still doesn't fix the CEL... designers worry about curves ..minor ones...for better air flow... so yes ...if you have the option to remove a block in the middle of the testpipe..why not..

I bought the 60mm Invidia pipe over the 70mm because I was concerned about the embedded fix in the 70mm pipe restricting flow. I put three of those HELP! anti-foulers on and I haven't had a CEL in three months of daily driving.
