Same happened to me - light turned on a few days after install but hasn't come back since resetting ECU ~4-5 weeks ago.

when you go for quality parts (fast intentions) then you can expect it to work as described.
L0L! I'm just say'n that eventually the CEL will come on no matter woot test pipe w/rear 02s installed w/no reflash IF driven for over 500 miles consecutively! That's my guesstimate....Any1 have any real world xperience w/this?

I have never had a CEL. and my only "reflash" was when I got tuned. after my installation of mine I drove it for a year or more. added my intakes and got tuned. have been driving it since then no issues even with straight pipes now I have no CEL.

i'm telling you FI test pipes are the best for sound, power, and no CEL. if it throws a CEL they work with you to fix it.

most CEL's come from people mishandling the o2 sensors and breaking them.

yes consecutive mileage. I DD the car except for when it's snowing. that's the only time my car doesn't get miles on it.

i'm not trying fool anyone. you'll have someone from time to time get a CEL with FI tp's, but they will sort it out. again almost every time I've seen it happen it was due to the fact the o2 sensors were not handled properly.

This was at my buddy's shop and he has 20+ years experience as a mechanic.
