Vibrant performance sells an adjustable flow cel fix part numbers
11619, 11620, 11621 any of these should work and won't cause clearance issues might take some fiddling around with gas ports but it should take care of any problems on the secondary o2 if it's primary good luck the ecu is never happy with the primary being toyed with

The adjustable flow will help with how much gas hits sensor and at what speed. Thus tricking your sensor to believe its still in the restrictive cat

I got a berk 63mm test pipe with an HKS dual. After about 100 miles the CEL came on on my MY05. The test pipe has a built in cel fix, what else can I do to clear my CEL I love the sound of the test pipe and want to keep it. Thanks

Built in how? If its a threaded unit simplest fix is to check sensor for proper operation if it checks out and is ok then try using a different cel fix on top of your existing

Update: Well it seems I left my gas cap loose and that caused the CEL. I pumped gas and found it loose. I thought it was the test pipe I had installed a week before and had only driven about 100 miles. pumped gas and put on about 40 miles and it turned off on its own. Im hoping thats what it was

If in doubt, head to an auto store and let them read the CEL for you (usually free). CEL code on the reader will also state what the problem is, or you can come back here for answers.

anyone have any luck with any test pipes on a 06+ i heard we have problems because our o2 sensor is more sensitive?
I would choose a CEL over the cat. The drone from OEM cat was embarrassing in daily traffic.

I agree the test pipe eliminated the drone on my HKS and it's do much more fun to drive... It's loud when u need it! A test pipe has been the cheapest and best mod on my car

The OEM cat doesn't necessarily increase drone, and a test pipe doesn't necessarily decrease drone. It just depends on the exhaust system that they are mated with. Some exhausts will drone less with the cat in plase, and others will drone less with a test pipe.
