Update to this thread a bit as I installed my exhaust and catless DP along with the mini cat last night. On my way home from work and just got a check engine light on. Sooo.... At the shop now figuring what codes are thrown and how to fix the issue.

SO would you recommend it? Also which mini cat did you get the straight or 90 deg? Any pics of it installed? Thanks. Possibly looking to go this direction.

If I could go back and do it all over, I wouldn't put the downpipe on. But the sound is so intoxicating, I just can't bring myself to remove it. I don't think they make a 90° mini cat, that would only be a spacer. I don't trust spacers as well as I do the mini cat. Being that I've modified several vehicles in the past, I've never been able to make a spacer work. This is my first experience with a mini cat, but I'm actually impressed with how well it works, even though it's not perfect.

How bad is the smell with the catless downpipe?

If installed correctly and get yourself quality downpipe, you wont smeel inside the car. It will only be noticeable on cold start if car has been on idle for a while

LOL, I hear ya. It sounds great. Yeah I noticed that only the mini cat is straight. There wasn't an issue with space and getting it to fit? Have you had any other issues since that one time? What did you do to clear the codes or did they clear themselves?

If you get a CEL, you have to clear it, you can go with a cheap OBDII scanner. If you get a Drivetrain Malfunction (LIMP MODE), it goes away after you turn off the car. Honestly the limp mode is so much worse than a CEL. **EDIT** This is the first car I've ever heard of that goes into limp mode for being catless...any normal vehicle would just get a CEL that could be avoided with a mini cat. |

I'm about 200 miles in now with my DP dinan exhaust and mini cat. Last night my mechanic cleared the codes/check engine light and so far nothing's come back up. I also never experienced any kind of limp mode or loss of power.
Like above this thing sounds so damn mean I can't see myself taking the DP off |

In theory it sounds great, but in reality it seems to have its flaws. I was not planning on getting a DP just yet so I have some time to think about it.
