you will need a tune or a deleter to get rid of the CEL. I would suggest a tune to get the gains you are paying for in the first place.

Because I am an idiot and can not figure out how to flip it once it is uploaded to youtube. Believe me I clicked on everything I could find but it was a no go...... at least I got this one right.

Hey guys, I'm looking into purchasing a Challenge x-pipe / Eisenmann Sport exhaust combo...

For people familiar w/ the Challenge x-pipe - should I go with the Street or Sport? Does the Sport x-pipe have much more performance (noticieable) benefits over the Street? Anyone know of a ballpark bhp/torque figure, actual throttle feedback from experience, etc.?

I am located in SoCal. With the HFC on the Sport x-pipe, would you guys foresee me having to swap the x-pipe to stock for emissions?

Thanks.

With the High Flow Cats, your car will make more power than with the Street since it still utilizes the OEM catylitic converters. As for Smog Check in California, these cars are still pretty new so we haven't had a customer try to pass smog with the Sport X-Pipe yet.
