Kelu,
I just spoke with Jeff on the phone again. After reading the notes, we realized that you ordered the catless downpipe and not a HF cat. The 02 extender is not necessary as there is nothing being done to the exhaust gases since the material in the cat is no longer there. The only way to get rid of the CEL is a computer tune where Lyndon turns off that particular code. This is the way it is every time the catless downpipe is installed. We were both under the impression that you had the HF cat, and then he double checked the notes. This would be why there was no extender included in your package...it simply is not necessary with the catless downpipe.

Weee, great news, thanks for the fast reply.

I just updated my tune from Lyndon one hour ago, I didn't had the time to test it. I mentioned to Lyndon that I have installed the catless downpipe when I requested an update of my tune. Maybe I'm good, let's see what happens next days.

Kudos for Jeff that he figure out what happened in my case. I don't want to think what would have happened if I would go for repositioning my bung and still getting errors

Ha ha yea...don't worry about repositioning anything. The new tune should already have the CEL turned off. If not, just email Lyndon and he can send you a new file with that specific code turned off. All is well!!

Kelu, you were so excited to get the exhaust, that you forgot what you ordered???
well done man, get rid of that CEL and start racing!
waiting to get my Solo Mach Shorty and HF cat and Dejon throttle body elbow too!

I don't see the bung that is supposed to be installed for the high flow or catless downpipe.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:23:58 AM »

He doesn't need an 02 extender with the catless downpipe.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #31 on:** August 20, 2009, 12:13:40 PM »

so the stock hole is used also with the catless DP? I don't know why he would be getting a CEL then.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 20, 2009, 03:11:53 PM »

There is usually always a CEL with the catless pipe because their is no longer any material buffering it inside. It can only be turned off by a tune.

Kelu · « **Reply #33 on:** August 20, 2009, 08:52:29 PM »

I took it out for a test on highway where I was getting overboost limp until the tune update.
No more limp mode, did some runs and it boosts like hell but no errors anymore.

Also there are 3 days since I updated my tune and no more CEL about cat efficiency up to now.

Looks great guys, very happy customer with all lights off

Thanks Steve, Jeff, Joe and all the others which helped me to get here.

Glad you are happy...it sounds and looks great! The tune makes all the difference. Lyndon is the man when it comes to that!

Kelu · « **Reply #35 on:** August 25, 2009, 05:32:30 AM »

Report after one week, no cels and no problems since the tune was updated.
Sound might settled down up to now.
If I don't WOT sounds great, not too loud or not too quiet and some burbles on reving down.
On WOT after 4000 rpm it screams get out of my way

and I get some back fires from time to time.

I love to keep my ESC on and WOT just for one split of the second to make the exhaust come to the scene but the ESC settles my reaction and the car in front of me always gets on right line when I do that

spicy3480 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 25, 2009, 10:37:41 AM »

Ha ha awesome. The tune should keep the CEL off for good. Now get some of your buddies to get a SOLO system, too. LOL

Great run...a 13.3 is a good time for the 1/4.

I agree. Best I've done is a 14.10
Our 5 speed makes the 1/4 tough. You start and in a split second have to shift to second.

Can be better especially because I did 13.30 on a weak launching surface but this is the official time which I could achieve for the moment.

You should try it with an 06 tranny, you pop the clutch, shift to second, shift to third immediately and then read a newspaper until you are done or need to shift to 4th at the end of the quarter.

What are the gear ratios of the 2 trannys?

Kelu, what is your top speed in 3rd gear?

Kelu · « **Reply #43 on:** September 14, 2009, 02:56:48 PM »

Depends on the wheels

Guys we are way too offtopic, can someone split this topic?

elff · « **Reply #44 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:15:46 PM »

True

My question actually works for your other post

Kelu · « **Reply #45 on:** May 03, 2010, 06:05:28 AM »

After almost 9 months, with the occasion of regular maintenance I have inspected the exhaust and is looking strong no leaks, no loosen bolts, no touching marks on other parts.

Thank you SOLO for such a nice product
