Weird Issue after Catless DP and Exhaust Install

Jay Slay · 01-27-2008, 07:37 PM

Had my UR Catless Downpipes and full UR Exhaust installed yesterday. First 20 minutes driving home it was all good...then for some reason, I saw a message pop up on I-drive "Engine Failure, Reduced Power" The car felt fine..I pulled over on side of hwy and turned the car off for a minute or two..then got it going again with no issues....no issues today.

Thoughts?

Yea that's what happens when you remove cats.

No other mods. What do you mean that is what happens when you remove the cats? Is that the code it throws?

You need to get the o2 simms from terry. When you remove cats the car will usually throw codes.

+1, you need to get 02 sims with catless dp's. there is a lot of posts on this though some people haven't thrown cels with them.. there is also a post about some spacer looking thing that pull the 02 sensor outside of the dp a bit which may be another workaround.
