"High flow" cats that are actually flowing at a higher rate than stock cats should trigger a CEL. Why even bother half risking it all for questionable gains..  :
The only real solution if you're going after more power is a balls-out catless DP with a tune to disable the emissions check.. At least then you know exactly what you're getting yourself into without some wary assurances.. |
They don't cause a CEL b/c they fake out the sensors by moving them out of the direct flow...

With that logic, spacers should work on a catless downpipe without any issues then.. Which it doesn't..
