I'd like to see "all the other frs/brz" that have magic ecu's and doesn't trip a cel without the cat. Some cars go a few hundred miles before the cel pops up so just because it doesn't show up right away doesn't mean it won't ever. I'm sorry but reading your comments it looks like you had no idea about the effects of deleting the cat when you bought the header. |

I read through that a couple times but I'm no expert. Ive only been on here for a couple months now and still won't get my car for another two weeks. As far as I'm concerned, Tcoat, has been on here forever and extremely knowledgeable so id take his word on needing a tune. |

Its not hard to understand, after market header needs a tune.
Get the OFT, keep your aftermarket header, life good. |

I don't get grumpy for common threads I just link the info already available. However, when somebody asks a question, gets many answers that are all the same and then argues that the info isn't correct because it isn't what they want to hear...

Well, I guess with that said it didn't quite workout for you. I didn't know it was an auto so now that I know that it makes a little more sense why its acting that way. Sorry about that. Well just wait a little bit to get a tune and you can put them back on and enjoy. |

You can run catless header without tune, you will likely throw a CEL code P0420 after a while. It wont produce optimum power without cam vvt changes. The car should run ok , if its not then you likely had a problem with header install, ie 02 sensors not in correct positions or not plugged inot correct sockets, not screwed in all the way so ring on sensor is not loose ,you usually need to run a thread chaser through the header bungs. Or you had an exhaust leak always use new gaskets or header was cracked (early borlas cracked a lot) or flanges warped creating air leak notice you also had perrin CAI fitted, this is more likely to be ausing problems that a propertly fitted header it will be best if you get tune to suit the cai (maf scaling) and catless header but P0240 cat efficience cel code will not cause limp home mode where rpm is limited to 4000, it will cause cruise control to be inoperable though |

I am asking because I am interested in catted headers, and I won't have a tune. Not looking for any magical gains because I will get a tune in the future. Just want to know if the car will run normal. Kinda in it for the rumble sound first, performance later. Not trying to be a pain in the ass asking what has been asked before. Just trying to be informed. 2017 WRB BRZ |

If you change the header even for a catted one their is still a possibility that you will throw a cel code P0420 Will I get a CEL code If you go to catless header you will get a CEL code P0420 (cat efficiency) it may thak a while to show up though. Even some catted headers will still cause a cel code You can try O2 spacers or de-foulers but they will not always work 100% The only 100% way is to disable the code in the ECU usually done in aftermarket tunes. The Cel code P0420 will stop the cruise control on your car from working, it wont go into limp home or low power mode. Can be reset by removing battery connection or using obd tool to reset. It going to keep coming back until you disable it though. Why you get CEL Code when changing header Integrated in header is a primary catalytic converter. Their is the primary 02 sensor before this cat and a secondary 02 sensor after it. The ECU compares the reading from both and works out if the primary cat (in header) is working efficiently. If it detects abnormal readings it will set CEL Code P0420. a tune for headers will disable Cel code code P0420 as well as optomising parameters for a header. Changing any other exhaust components other than the header will not trigger a CEL code. Its only the primary cat in the header that is monitored by ECU, secondary cat in front pipe is not monitored. Ok CEL codes covered. If the header is fitted correctly ie no leaks and o2 not damaged etc then the car should still run fine. (never put a 02 spacer on Front 02 sensor as you will get problems, always on rear 02 sensor) no spacer need if you have tune. The spacer doesn't effect AFR it just tries to fool ECU that their is still a cat in system. Changing header wont affect AFR. If it flows more then the MAF sensor which meters air entering engine will detect this and correct AFR. The afr with or without an aftermarket header will be same A tune will optimise cam timing to suit header and adjust AFR and ignition timing for better power and torque. Intakes are the part that can effect AFR as they can throw off the MAF sensor calibration/scaling and this will effect AFR. |
