Thanks, so it was the long tubes that tripped the CEL? I just ordered my Injen intake and am going to be saving for a full exhaust, I want the BBK LT's but I want to make sure I know what all will be involved with tuning and such. Thanks for your reply

PoorMansCamaro · 08-05-2010, 02:51 PM

no problem. and yes, it was the long tubes and high flow cats that come with BBK that caused the cel.

When do you plan on trying the extensions from SOLO?

PoorMansCamaro · 08-06-2010, 07:41 AM

I'll give them a call next week. i'll be ready to purchase them next Friday.

VEESIKS · 08-06-2010, 11:48 AM

Sweet, if you dont mind keep me posted on the outcome

PoorMansCamaro · 08-06-2010, 11:49 AM

yup, i'll post it up on this thread. I've had a few other people ask me to keep them posted. I'll try and throw out a pm to everyone as well.

VEESIKS · 08-06-2010, 12:40 PM

Sounds good, I just noticed you're from Vegas, I'm moving to San Diego in a few weeks and there are many weekend trips to Vegas in my future...it's pretty much my favorite place on earth

I just had O2 extensions installed today. (and I didn't have to pay for them!) hoping they will keep the CEL off.

Btw it is kind of misleading to say that all headers make the tone lower. I noticed that mine is actually a little higher pitched when it is revving hard. Think about it this way you now have more air rapidly moving through the system which results in a slightly higher tone. However you are absolutely right when the car is idling or for regular driving.

I don't remember what i rev'd to on the side view. I think it was 3k then 4. On the video showing the full back of the car i went 3k/4k/3k. I'll try and get another one with less wind. And a drive by.

PoorMansCamaro · 08-13-2010, 03:52 PM

Just purchased the SOLO extenders. Should ship out tomorrow or Monday. I'm crossing my fingers...

PoorMansCamaro · 08-17-2010, 06:00 PM

Ok, so right after I purchased the SOLO extenders, I decided to reset the cel by disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes or so. This was friday that I did this. I drove around with the cel for about 1500 miles before this, btw. Anyway, it's now tuesday, and the cel has still not turned back on. lol I drive her daily, so I'm wondering if maybe the computer just learned to "live" with the high flow cats. I doubt it, but I was expecting the cel to reappear already.

the last two times the cel turned on, it only took a couple hundred miles, if that.
