I had the Berk pipe on mine and tripped a cel in about 50 miles. Reset the ecu and the same thing happened. Sold the tp cause I couldnt stand that damn light. Bought a Megan pipe and the 42002 antifoulers and havent had a cel now in probably 2000 miles. Makes living with the Invidia much easier as well. Cut way down on the drone and makes the ole butt dyno happy!

i had a t1r testpipe with a custom made o2 sensor i bought off a VW forum b/c i have the older version of the testpipe which made the o2 sensor stick out at an angle, so if i would have gone over a speed bump my o2 sensor would have been broken off completely. never got a CEL with the anti-foulers i had on there for a while nor the custom o2 sensor mod. love the sound of it and the increased power. i took it off a while ago for inspections and immediately put it back on b/c i just hated the feel w/out it.

Ok, went to autozone and bought total of 4 spark-plug anti-fouler but didn't need but 2 of them. Drilled the hole just big enough for the o2 to fix through the anti-fouler....then screwed it back into the testpipe.....went for a test drive about 65miles and still no cel yet 
and hope it stay that way.

My testpipe experience was not as positive as others. My rwhp went from 378 to 381 and torque remained the same. Throughout the mid and high rpm ranges torque suffered ... peak torque came at 8600 rpms rather than 8200 w/o the testpipe. Also the car felt stronger without the testpipe. Needless to say it is no longer on the car.
