Agency exhaust giving cel on 02 tt help
#16
So I decided to go for the tune, I'm leaning toward EPL to do it. The extensions just don't seem like a reliable fix. I really had no plans to touch power on this car. I know as soon as I get the tune I'm going to want to fix the waste gates, replace DVs and intercoolers and before I know it all the money I have for my suspension is gone. All because a little light on the dash is so irritating.
Thanks for everyone's help.

I personally have never heard of anyone getting caught using extensions and failing due to that...

I guess I'll give extenders a try if the CEL pops up again. I erased the code last night and it hasn't come back on so maybe it was a fluke.

If they where going to check for extenders,they would first see that his exhaust is not OEM and not CARB approved....
#22
Are they? I was basing it off comments in this thread like when you said "most of the time." and the Vivid guy saying "the guaranteed fix would be going with a Softronic flash." Of course the Vivid website also says the exhaust wasn't supposed to throw a CEL to begin with, so he's probably just pushing the expensive fix at this point

yeah Im sure. The cel didnt come on immediately it came on a few hundred miles later. i cleared the code and it hasnt come back. after calling EPL I bought their tune today. the dude on the phone was so ****ing nice and gave me a great deal, i couldnt help myself. i thought the tune would cost much more. i still have plenty of money left for my suspension mods i want to do.

Glad you got it worked out.
Quick question didnt the light come on after you filled up with a tank of gas?
Like you said it typically will not throw a code but the free flowing cats do leave less room for error.

I still get them too Schwolneck, but not with regularity. I can go quite a few drives in between seeing them. For my case, I just plan a re-flash to remove the rear O2 sensor checks to be done with it. I've seen that there are some different (longer) 90 degree units also available to act as extenders, but I have no personal experience with them. Might be worth a shot if you want to live on with your current tune?

It's offered by a 6Speed approved vendor, so no problem sharing the information here. I stumbled upon these the other day and was intrigued, but have no experience with the parts. Best wishes, and I'm sure you could send them a few questions.
