997.1 turbo Catless system

How do you deal with a catless exhaust system in California, what do you do to pass smog and how do you turn off the engine light permanently??? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.....

You have to have a smog guy every 2 yrs as far as cell lights it's all about which exhaust you use ,i haven't had any issues.

I'am actually installing a borla race exhaust system right at the moment and the guy warn me that the engine light will turn on . So do you have a catless system and no engine light on?

You need a remap to turn off the CEL

I have an FVD catless system BTW but I run a software upgrade.

As others have said...most software (tunes) will widen the range and the light wont come on. Also may consider a post cat O2 bung extension. Either or both should work.

Good luck.
