Buy a anti fouler and a test pipe with CEL fix and you won't have a a problem or turn off the o2 sensor with Flashpro.

I think there's a little bit of a difference; that being said it stinks! I am thinking of going with a high-flow cat instead, maybe you should consider going this route as well.

Most aftermarket exhaust system sounds twice as good with a testpipe. HKS Hi-Power, for example, sounds like sh1t with the OEM cat. Drones like hell too.

Test pipe WiLL make large midrange gains!!!! Vtec can go very low. 4000rpms or so depending on car/ or other mods. Test pipe is def worth it.

So is the high flow cat just as good? I really don't want to get pulled over with a test pipe on.
