You can drive with a CEL just fine, i have been doing it for awhile now.
so you got the CEL with the FI HFC? you might be the first ive heard to get it. im looking at FI HFCs for my FI catback, hoping i dont run into the same issue as you.

hope everything works out... reading your review im itching to get these but almost everyone seems to have a horror install story where either the nuts are stuck bad or they mess up the sensor causing additional $$$... anyways i might still risk it soon

BTW anyone with the FI CB have these ART resonated TP for reference?

So any updates Glover? How are you liking the pipes after driving for a few days?

Hows the sound? any noticable rasp or drone? iv heard these pipes actually calm down after a few miles/break-in which sounds weird for TPs.
I know TPs will cause the exhaust to smell but is it really noticeable or not really most of the time?
Lastly, Does your exhaust exhale much more white smoke form the tips than before? i was seeing a few youtube vids like these and there seemed to be a lot of noticeable fumes.

Thanks! Im thinking about getting these REALLY soon!

Its actually just steam condensing on a cold morning start. It will do the same thing with stock cats.
Its normal. Water vapor is a product of the engine combustion process. Its always there when gasoline is burned.

As far as the smell, that is the part you can't see. Its semi burned gasoline molecules. Short chain olefins and various hydrocarbons.

And its the same thing test pipes do. They are the same in that regard.

Thanks

They are 2.25" diameter and will botl right up.

2.25" was dyno tested and chosen specifically to provide the best overall performance.

We could have made them 2.5" but 2.5" its too large a diameter for this specific location and loses power/torque. Hence the 2.25" for ART pipes.
