I've had the FVD 200 cell high flow sport cat exhaust for about one year - 6000 mi and have just got a cel. It's at the dealer and they say that it's due to the after market exhaust. The dealer is resetting the ecu.

So, the question is, should I be concerned about causing any damage and will the cel return?

I absolutely love the exhuast and don't want to give it up.

 

Do you have a flash? Typically a check engine light is caused due to the higher emissions. It is above the standard range of the o2 sensors.

 

Just get a cheap code reader from sears and clear it yourself.

 

No, no flash.

The dealer reset the ecu and said that it picked up the change in cats. Strange that it took over a year and 5000 miles?

Anyway, the dealer said no harm to the car and that the error code would prevent the car from passing the state inspection and offered to reset it prior to the inspection if the error code were to come up again.

So, no big deal and did I say that I absolutely love the brombacher exhaust.

 

Get these - less than 30 minutes to install. Fixed my problem on my 997.1

The issue is that the 2010 is much more sensitive than the 07-08 cars.

 

I took this pic this morning with an iphone. Showking has raised the bar quite high and although not up to that, I hope you enjoy it.

It's the oem aero front lip. Bought it from Suncoast, shipped to body shop, painted and wraped. When it was ready took a few painless minutes to install.
