Default installed berk test pipe

I went with the berk because everyone says you get no cel. Well i have reset my ecu 3 times now and it keeps coming back. The light comes on sometimes after 10 minutes and today about after 45 minutes of driving. I was told you dont have to run antifoulers with this. why is this happening?

My Berk didn't have a problem. When I talked to Berk before I bought mine he said "Most likely you won't have a problem. But some S2000s do any just need a little longer bung."

Hope you're not upset that you're getting a CEL, it's a very cheap fix though it is definitely a little more work for you than if you didn't get a CEL in the first place.

Just pick up a couple anti-foulers. You can do it!

That's too bad Sorry it didn't work for you! On an MY04 I would've guessed you'd be fine, but looks like you're the 1 out of 10 or 20.

I wouldn't have too much buyer's remorse though, I wouldn't expect the Invidia to work either since there isn't much difference between the two. I think you just have a super-sensitive O2 sensor.

wouldn't that be crawl back under?

I have heard of some MY04 getting cel with Berk TP - mine did but it was due to the fact that the tip of the o2 sensor was broken - not an anti fouler issue....

An excuse to bond with the underside of your car a bit

Better check around locally to make sure you can find the anti-foulers because you may have to order them online.
