I drove with a catless UEL and a stock tune for about a year. Just lived with the P0420 CEL during that time. Nothing bad happened, but you won't notice any performance gains until you get a tune,...

I have this same issue after installing the Whiteline insert. Its completely normal, stiffer bushings will pretty much always increase NVH in some way.

Have you ever run Motul fluid in the trans? I'm about to switch to that since this Redline 75W-90 isn't much better than stock, especially in the cold. Wondering if I should try Amsoil next year...

JDL makes front pipes that are pretty customizable. AT and MT options, pipe diameter, flanges, resonators, cats, etc. It's on the pricey end but that's the route I'm taking.

+1
If you don't know what it is, and the seller didn't make it obvious what it is, its probably all sourced from eBay and Wish for a grand total of $200.

You now have a stickier tire too. Is it possible that you're just noticing a lot more rolling resistance? That would increase engine load, bringing up oil temps and making it rev slower.

Buy a used muffler-deleting axleback for $100 or less. You get what you pay for, but even that's better than creating exhaust leaks.

Was considering, I figured it fit here because its replacing half of an engine with non-stock parts. If any mod wants to move it, that's totally fair. :)

That was an appreciated difference I noticed too, a lot quieter and less harsh over potholes and cracks. Can't corner anywhere near as well as I used to either, which is totally understandable

It appears that the sticker was peeled off :(

I don't want to pull the valve covers off yet since it's not on a stand, I'll have to come back to that later. Hoping that the VIN is etched somewhere.
