anywho. anyone know if the cel that shows up sometimes on the hfc/cat deletes if that actually hampers performance when its on?

except asbestos IS extremely dangerous. I remember reports of pretty much everybody who handled asbestos getting lung cancer since it **** you up pretty good

do it at your own risk, but I did it on my 350Z and did not throw codes and it wasn't raspy, unlike test pipes.

Default -Resonated Test Pipes-

You are way better off getting some resonated test pipes. You wont throw a code if you get a "CEL fix". I have gutted cats and had test pipes. I am just giving you my from personal experience. You should save the cats or sell them to make money!



Here is resonated test pipes with the CEL fix built in.

FYI - Asbestos particles inhaled will slice the heck out of your bronchial alveoila...and the damage is irreversible...and this is what leads to mesothelioma. So I wouldn't take asbestos so lightly as it only takes a single inhalation of any amount to get the ball rolling.
