Skunk2 exhaust CEL?

K20Redline · 02-12-2008, 12:35 PM

Hey guys i got my skunk2 70mm cat-back yesterday. I installed it and i love it but my CEL came on!

I already reset the ecu by taking the batt terminal off can someone shed some light please?

you shouldn't get any CEL at all dude. because when you replace your stock exhaust theres no sensor on it or you have to mess with, its just bolt on so i dont see that your skunk2 70mm would cause to throw CEL. When i replace my stock exhaust with skunk2 60mm. i didnt get CEL....

Only thing I can think of is if you accidentally damaged the o2 sensor which is still a stretched because it shouldn't have been touched in the first place

Mine came on too. 90% sure it's an O2 sensor mishap. Getting it checked out soon (my Skunk is off now) and getting it fixed.

Thats what im thinking but I dont want to go to dealer and ask them to give me a read out because they probably would go after my warranty!

go to your local muffler shop and have them take a look of it and see if you damage the sensor when you were replacing your stock exhaust

i doubt it's anything but the o2 sensor, doesnt make sense for anything but that, if you ran open headers, you shouldnt trow a cel, the censers r before the exhaust

Who cares what the dealer thinks? There really isn't anything he can void a warranty claim over with an exhaust, other than perhaps a melted bumper or if the exhaust itself ruined something (banging against the underside of the car and breaking something, for instance - which is a longshot in itself).
