Thanks,

Well the test pipe's you will ALWAYS smell even after 10k miles of break in, after about 4k miles or even more and 2 months on my car it still smells like that, it went down alot or i just got use to it so i dont really notice it, and i know thats not good LOL!!

I have a 2004 coupe 6MT with the cats removed....Greddy SP2 connected to a 3 inch pipe all the way up to the manifold. The service engine does not turn off. It irritates the hell out of me. How do I fix it?

Thanks,

Congradulations. You've discovered why catalytic converters
exist on cars today.

By removing them, you are not burning off any of the harsh
gases coming out of your engine. The smell is all the
noxious gases. When you stop at a light, you will notice
it the most as it "blows-by". People behind you will always
think that your car needs a "smog check".

And if you're in California, pray that a cop does not drive
behind you.

 

Yo Gman here ya go, luckily my engine light hasent came on and this is without the fix, its been over 3k miles also ont he test pipes and new exhaust. Actually last week it did come on but i did an ecu reset and it went away, im still going to get it checked out though!

I got the service engine light soon too, I reset the ECU 3 times and it always comes back on. I'm picking up a OBD2 scan tool and will see what it is, I'm thinking it's probably the O2 sensor, if it is then I'll get the O2 sims and be done with it.

Test pipe smell...When I first put them on you could smell the new metal burning in (if that's what you call it), just like when you get a new exhaust. After a day or two it went away, but the gas smell still remains.

 

Thanks DHCrocks! My smell went away too, but my exhaust tips get a build up of black residue. I assume it's because I have no cats. Let me know what the OBD2 scan tells you.

 

Yea my exhaust pipe tips are black as hell and so nasty looking, i try and pilish tem and they become a shiney, brown burnt lol. Any 1 know what i should use to polish the tips and clean everything off of them? I use mothers and it doesnt seem to work well..

marty i had my car up on a lift doing the high-flow cat install and i figured i'd clean my tips while it was up there.

my friend had a little sampler package of Meguiars Metal Polish (i forget the exact name i have it in the car). i figured wtf might as well try it.

worked like a charm. squeeze out a lil bit of it into a clean shop rags and in 30 seconds of buffing i had both tips looking brand new.

 

Ahh im gonna get some and try it before sunday, i think me and Dave (Axion) might enter our cars int he HIN show!! You coming?

am i coming to Englishtown on Sunday or am I coming to HIN in Atlantic City? HIN is out for me b/c it's homecoming weekend at Villanova and i have a bunch of plans already set up.

are you guys just going to E-town to sign up or are you going for a little track time? i'm curious to let the G rip and see how it does with the new cats (even though they're vibrating the **** out of the heat shield right now)
