I've read a lot of people (including a test pipe vendor) say that you can't run a test pipe on a 2006 or 2007 model because the ECU is too sensitive or too smart to fool with an O2 Simulator.

However, I've seen a couple of folks with 2006 models that run a test pipe with the basic O2 Simulator who state that they've had no CEL in thousands of miles of running.

Just wanted to throw this out there to see if any other 2006 or 2007 owners have test pipes and have been able to avoid the presence of the CEL? If so, what pipe are you using and what 02 Simulator (T1r, homemade, other??). Did you have to do anything else to trick the ECU?

Thanks.

 

I have the Berk on my 2006. I do get a CEL.

So do I. But I'ma buy that Blox CEL eliminator thing soon. 12 bucks.

 

I'm using two spark plug anti foulers to back the O2 sensor out as far as possible. It was fine for about 3k miles, then i went to a high performance driving event 2 weeks ago. The car was not out of VTEC while on the track (8, 25 minute intervals), and on my trip home, the CEL came back on. I pulled the code, and sure enough it's the O2 sensor.

I have the Berk TP. My CEL came on not even 50 miles of putting the Berk on the car.
I think having the two anti foulers would have been fine for longer had I not run the car hard for as long as I had. I haven't pulled the O2 sensor out to look at it yet.

EDIT: Here is my intial thread.

Thanks. Good to know its at least possible.

 

That's nothing more than two spark plug anti foulers, but as one big piece to make it prettier. TP's like the Berk already have this built in.

I think the only solution is something electrical, I think I have an O2 simulator bookmarked at home, I'll post it up later if no one else finds it.

 

I have a TP and do not get a CEL. I've gotten it once since I installed it (6 months ago), but I just pulled the negative terminal from the battery to clear it and it hasn't come back on.
