i took the car to the dealer and they told me that my cats are not good i have a fabspeed with 200 cell like a year they check the o2 censor and they said they were good any suggestion wil appreciate thank you

 

i took the car in for check engine light .thank you

 

Do you have the new HJS Cat's

If not Fabspeed will take care of you

My 08 had many CEL's , I purchased the Bung extensions from Speedtech and problem solved , 08 's are very sensitive

Gee-Bee

 

the dealer flash the car with giac like 6 month ago but they never liked fabspeed they like Tubi

 

I assume you already contacted Fabspeed? What did they say?

 

Fabspeed stands behind their stuff. If the exhaust is the issue, they will take care of you.

 

08 cars are very sensitive. When they service your 07 they also recallibrate the 02 sensor threshold to 08 specs, that could be the issue, there bungs would help.

 

I have the 07 and currently having the same problem.

 

same here for the TT with evo flash and fabspeed exhaust

 

Contact FS or me if you purhased the exhaust from us and we will take care of it.

 

I'm pleased to see this thread because the CEL issue with new exhausts may be more common that we know. There are some very good companies who manufacturer after market exhausts and their products are excellent (so this is not a criticism of these companies nor their products) - some of these are noted in the posts in this thread. I too have an after market exhaust from a very reputable companies and have ongoing CEL issues. Considering how many they sell and how many satisfied customers they have I understand why they direct us to other issues first before jumping to the conclusion "it's the exhaust!" (which is the explanation of choice by your car dealer) While I'm a nubie, when you change a significant part of a "system" its balance is sometimes unsettled (perhaps moreso on the newer models as their technology is more sensitive = "advanced") - of course this is never mentioned on company web sites, and who can blame them. There are some threads that are helpful so my comments below are not original.

- You need to collect information as your CEL codes can vary, or not, and this can help in identifying the source. Get your tuner (forget the dealer - they won't touch it or anything they remotely think is related to your new exhaust) to read the codes a few times and get a portable OBD2 reader to add to the collection of info re your CEL codes.
- Check hoses for leaks, clean your MAF, and try bung extensions to see if this fixes the CELs, OR you get new CELs.
- Depending upon your CEL code history, O2 sensor replacements are next (not from your dealer - your reputable tuner or do it yourself).
- If anyone has done all these and still have CELs I think you can go to your exhaust company for help - I think they are pretty good if you've done all of the above.
- Consumers should be aware of the CEL possibility up front and that some patience and $ may be required.
- Obviously, if the CEL code is not exhaust related - take it to your dealer.

- ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS DONE ALL THIS AND STILL HAS CELs?
- Stories and solutions from others would be helpful.
- Any CEL with power kits (e.g., ECU flash - minus exhaust issue)?

Mods bring risks - not necessarily related to the quality of the exhaust itself. Solutions come from good tuners, good aftermarket companies, and members of forums like this. Whew!

 

I have FS on my '07 and have had CEL issues since the system was installed (before the '08 Flashes were done so I dont think that's the issue).

FS offered great customer service and sent me their new HJS cats but still getting the CEL. I don't have the codes in front of me but both the dealer and indy said it was cat related. I think FS is mad at me so I may have to try to come up with another solution

BTW, what the hell is a bung and where do I get it? LOL!

 

No CEL, 08 Turbo, Evomsit flash + Cargraphic exhaust.

 

Very cool. Kudos to this company for their after sales service and for clearly stating they want to and will assist their customers until the problem is resolved. (no I'm not a customer nor do I work for them). More please!

 

Thanks. I think it safe and fair to say that people with the CEL issue (myself included) are a very small percentage of customers dealing with reputable companies and it probably isn't there products. But we still need info and support to resolve this asap. And customers need to treat companies with respect if they want to get the same. We easily make causal inferences when we change the exhaust and all of a sudden a CEL appears - it just isn't that easy (wish life was that simple).
Sounds like a great system you have, enjoy!
