Hey Jaime, why not just open the dash and pull the light bulb, That would solve the continuous on/off again P.I.T.A. light?

Good idea
I have a speedtech exhaust and the CEL problem went away after adding o2 bung extensions. Took me about 20 minutes to put them on. A floor jack is a must if you DIY.

I've had no CEL on my Fabspeed performance system since the installation- over two years now. My is tip.
The exhaust on turbo cars play very important part ,so the proper installation and good pipe alignment without any leaks it's a must.

If you check out our site under the 997TT section, there are some sound clips of each exhaust but no V3's on a Tip, just regular clips. I think the V3 sounds great anyway and I don't think it would be bad on a tip but again, it depends on what you think is too loud. If you're not sure its better to just get the quiet version. If you have our HJS cats, thats as quiet as it would get and catbypass would be even louder yet.

It could really be afew things. Bad cats is possible but its very rare w/ the 200cell HJS's we use with our systems. Sometimes on the 09+ cars we recommend O2 spacers, which we make, to get the sensor out of the exhaust stream, this does help sometimes if you have a CEL. Some cars are super sensitive and some aren't, its weird. Getting an ECU might help keep the light off but usually with just our mufflers/cats its not necessary, depends on the power you want to make. IF you're doing our exhaust AND our Maxflo intake then the ECU should be done. Hope that helps
