Illinois doesn't allow any incompletes or not-ready codes during emissions testing.

I'm no expert, but from what I understand, there are two ways to clear the header CEL. The first is to ignore the second O2 sensor, which forces the "not ready" status. The other is simply to disable the particular code which comes up. That's how my OFT tune is set up and I show 100% Ready.

Good to hear that there's an OFT workaround for that. I had issues with my last car and readiness checks, post-tune. I ended up having to switch back to a stock tune to get everything to show ready.

Just as a disclaimer, I'm only 75% sure I'm right on that. I would double check before making any decisions based on my rambling.

code is likely P0420 and caused by no cat, mine comes and goes. I have the same header.

Evil Rocky · 08-24-2015, 11:34 PM

Sorry for late reply guys. Was at work. My code is a P0420 and has to do with a exhaust leak according to autozone. I am taking back to shop and C if can get fixed. Also going to talk to them about the header purchase with what the receipt said.

Freeman · 08-24-2015, 11:34 PM

Before you do that open the hood and take a picture of the header. I have this horrible feeling you didn't get what you asked for

Pretty much what @Freeman said. Hope this all works out for you.

Evil Rocky · 08-25-2015, 01:37 AM

As long as my cel goes away and car does not give other problems not going to make big deal on the header purchase. Do appreciate all the quick reply and suggestions. Will be taking it in a week or two. Car is barely driven so not freaking out that I need to fix right now.

Will keep everyone updated on it and what was done for the car so hopefully can help other people fix problems too

my guess is... op went to place that lied to him, killed everyone and is now doing life in prison?

or he just forgot to update. curious though. I just bought a used tomei EL and there is no cat for sure lol I will just try an o2 spacer and see if that works. but I do plan on getting OFT eventually.

@Evil Rocky you still on here???

Evil Rocky · 05-18-2017, 06:50 PM

^^ did not kill anyone lol

But I did get fixed with a 02 spacer.

So it was in fact a catless header?

Evil Rocky · 05-18-2017, 08:46 PM

Yes it was, but the way it was run up through their computer it came up that way. But they are good peeps and still working with them

Turdinator · 05-19-2017, 01:58 AM

I am sorry to say even with a spacer it is likely your CEL will return.
