For all u catless without a TUNE

Grail05 · 01-09-2011, 11:34 AM

What did u do to get rid of your cel? Let me know......

hoeferland · 01-09-2011, 02:15 PM

Software. I have a post I started looking for advice on the best option.

BMRLVR · 01-09-2011, 02:48 PM

The only way to get rid of the CEL without a tune is the Akrapovic Delete-R. All other methods of stopping the CEL like O2 sims and Lambda adaptors don't work for the M3.

I'd suggest the Dinan Racing Middle Exhaust Software if you are concerned about warranty. Many BMW dealers are Dinan dealers and they can flash your car at your next warranty/service appointment. I had my car flashed with the Dinan software before even taking delivery of it since I had an Akrapovic Evolution exhaust waiting at home for the car.

I have a Powerchip stage I tune (it does NOT remove the CEL). I have Fabspeed high flow cats and Fabspeed O2 extenders. The car has been driven through all load levels and temperature conditions for over 6K miles and no CEL.

I think those little O2 extenders do work. However, these are for my HFCs. I don't know if they will work for a totally catless system. Probably not.

I'm curious, will adding an exhaust (gintani for exammple) trigger a CEL? Or is it only when you go catless?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting an exhaust but I don't want the CEL.

Getting just a rear section exhaust will not affect anything. In fact, even removing the secondary catalytic converters won't do anything either. Only your 2 primary cats will affect emmisions if you modify/remove them.

Akra Delte-R. Works as advertised.

I was thinking about a tune but will eventually sell car and didn't want to deal with the PITA reflash back to stock.

...but Dinan Racing Middle Exhaust doesn't have a warranty. So, are you saying that the dealer still looks the other way because it's a Dinan product?

+1 This is my question. Or is the tune covered (warranty covered by Dinan) but not the mid pipe.

PrimeBMW · 02-16-2011, 05:59 PM

Okay, I just got off the phone with Dinan. The mid pipe tune has the matching warranty but the actual mid pipe does not.

Just installed my Akra Delete-R last night for my RPi GTM Exhaust

Akrapovic delete r works great

donovan · 03-12-2011, 03:23 AM

How about, someone make one for a better price

JDM3 · 03-12-2011, 06:11 AM

OE catless tune from Gintani!

ysv · 03-12-2011, 07:12 AM

SS fullcatless system, using Acra delete-r with O2 sensor extenders, no cel.

ps consider Acra delete-r too expensive, but with out anything other on the market...

therealsullyz · 03-12-2011, 09:25 AM

Innotech bypass pipes and x pipe require no software or delete-r to prevent SES light. Simply plug and play.

alpine335i · 03-12-2011, 10:37 AM

Catless with an OETune, wouldn't go any other way!
