JEGIII Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I'm looking to put a set of headers on my '97 OBW. I'm looking for any info that anyone has about the Stromung Cat & mid-pipe. Does it cause CEL issues or any other nasties I need to worry about? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I have heard of CEL eliminators for use with said systems. That is all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEGIII Posted September 27, 2003 Author Share Posted September 27, 2003 Yeah, I saw those. I'm more concerned with wasting my MAF sensor or ECU if they sense too big a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I find it virtually impossible that a different exhaust would actually damage the ECU. The only wear item is FLASH memory, which is capable of a limited number of writes. I doubt the FLASH is being written in the car as the settings are forgotten at power down. As far as the MAF goes, I would think the air intake used would have a greater effect, but others know more on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEGIII Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 O.K. , I guess my concern is, why do they get a CEL if there's nothing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
