Does installing a down pipe mean you have to get a stage 2 tune?

[DSC808]

Without a tune you won't get any real benefits, only maybe like 20hp and faster spool.

lol that's about all you get either way. Do you not consider an additional 20HP a benefit?

I thought the gesi mounted close to the turbo guaranteed zero cel’s? It’s what I read here somewhere. Is that false?

Correct. The new cats that @GTI Jake is using are CEL free.

Even with a nice DP you can get a CEL.




You don't need a stage 2 tune. I have a DP and am just running a JB4.

Are you running map 6? Did you adjust it once you put the DP on?

I love how you people are casually throwing on a DP without thinking of a tune because it's so easy where you live. I would love to put on a DP for the extra benefits and go Stg2 but the hassle of dealing with it when inspection time comes is such a PITA that I'm trying to avoid it on this car.

The benefits of a DP are great but if you just want sound and no inspection issues, catback is the way to go.

No

Did you put an IC on yet? That's the more important question.

I'm still waiting to turn on my stage 2 tube, been running dp on stage 1 for a few thousand miles now.

You don't need it, but the quality of your cat will determine if you get a CEL or not.

If you buy a $600 dp with a $40 cat, make space for the new light on your dash

Throwing that shade so early in the morning, sir?

 

[Diggs24]

Never too early for an IC.

 

[Keehs360]

Never too early for an IC.

Agreed.

Are you running map 6? Did you adjust it once you put the DP on?

Nope...just on Map 2. I spin tire all they way through second.

Get better tires.
