Ok guys, my car threw a CEL light a few days ago mostly likely from having FVD race pipes installed about 4 weeks ago (800 miles on the car before the CEL came on with the race pipes on the car). Currently my car has a Stage 2 GIAC upgrade. The car runs as good with the CEL on as it did before it came on and I will be putting my Cargraphic exhaust back on due to the noise level of the race pipes. My question is....can I have my local shop in Vegas (Carl's Place) turn off the CEL light after re-installing the Cargraphic exhaust without erasing my GIAC program???

 

yes.. u can get a $70 hand held unit at pep boys and u can do it all the time...
and yes its becasue of the straight pipes... GAIC does not turn off the oxygen sensors via ecu... FVD does. so no wonder why u got the cel lite.

 

Thanks Mark! I love performance increase using the race pipes (increase in the low and mid range power) but the neighbors are lookin at me funny... I'm gonna do a nice little write-up on the race pipes in another thread both the pros and cons, but they were a blast to have on the track and got compliments for a few instructors on the sound when I was WOT on the straightaways. You should come out to Vegas one of these days, maybe to SEMA and I will have my grandma make some perogies and other fresh polish food for us.

 

We don't turn off CEL's either marski, its all in the programing Look at you spreading rumors haha JUST KIDDIN BUD!
