Magnaflow(and other ceramic core) cats are notorious for seting p0420s(ZZPs own website even acknowledges this) I'd recommend a shorty header and the RT downpipe or a Clear Image header and cat combo.(this is my personal choice)

x2 on the Clear Image, superb quality header, and a good deal.

Also, its not "cell", its CEL, as in 'Check Engine Light'

Get rid of that jet chip. It will cause you problems.

I was thinking, after I posted that, that i should have listed those as well, but he only mentioned the one. I didn't see the relevance to post up the MIL and SES definitions, but it seems that you guys did it anyway.

Great minds think alike, I guess

No, that alerts you that DTC's are stored.

It cant "show" DTC's like back in the OBD1 days when it would flash out codes.
