If you have a REVUP, you will most likely (although some have not) get a code.

The extenders on the Megans (at least they have them unlike the $300+ dollar name brand unresonated test pipes) are not enough to fool a REVUP's O2's.

Here's the CEL fix.

$60 for "L" shaped bungs!?!?! DAMN!

the L-shape they are talking about is an additional part you add onto the bung to get rid of the cel

While it might not be as effective as the L Shaped that you linked, it is almost identical to that on the Berk Technology which claims a 95% effective rate at fixing the CEL.

For most ppl, I think its worth it to install the Megan Racing Resontated Test Pipes first and see if the CEL appears before purchasing the L Shape extensions.
i will be installing them test pipes with out the cel killer today... i have the same exact test pipes with extended bungs... brb
