De-cat Exhaust - Now Engine Light

Post by Tony Boi 92 »

Hi guys

So got my exhaust made up, custom 2.5" decat, one silencer stainless steel and love it
As expected, EML light is on

I know this needs to be mapped out for a proper fix, however, is there any way you can get rid of it without a map?

Any tips how to get my exhaust popping more too? I get the odd few but not as many as it probably could? New map would be needed for this?

Best regards

Have you fitted lambda sensor spacers on the decat pipe?

Yep
Literally just like putting a sock over a smoke alarm (dont try this at home kids) fools the sensor into thinking everything is normal cos it just senses normal air outside the car rather than inside the exhaust pipe
