Say Whaaaat?

I just installed my 2.5" Cat-less XTC Downpipe and didn't throw a CEL. I have driven it around for 20+ miles and still no CEL.

Anyone else experience this?

Its takes a few error cycles to throw the code usually. It will come on!

Yes please. The reason why I am asking about the CEL is because I just went cat-less and every Balt on here I've read threw the CEL.

A cycle is a drive cycle. That usualy consists of starting the car driving for so many miles at a few certain speeds for so long then turning the car off.

yep something like that. im not sure the exact amount or anything. but its like that

thats the reason why u cant clear ur codes and go take emissions. the computer will come up with an error saying that the computer is not ready / hasnt finished its full cycle.

I know what's up, it's a bad contatct on the IGN fuse, ghetto wiring for the gauges. And I don't know about tomorrow night. Money is tight with the up coming show. But I'll try.
