You may still throw a CEL even with the Vibrant HFC so a defouler is needed. Besides, you'll never have to worry about your CEL coming on for just a few extra dollars.

I've been running the T1R Race Header & T1R O2 Simulator for 6 months or so and not one CEL ever. But i don't know how the piece compares to the WR.

Question. Isen't there an 02 sesnor adapter build into the race header? I may be wrong and please let me know what's necessary to do when adding a catted race header and
a cat back exhaust.

Thanks,

That is not really true. It is in some cases, but it depends on what Hi-Flow cat you run. I know some Hi-Flow cats will still cause a CEL because the exhaust flow between the two sensors is not limited enough. The ECU will throw a code for a bad Cat in those cases.

I'm running a Vibrant Header w/ HFC and Vibrant Catback.. I threw a CEL over the weekend. I haven't gotten a chance to get the code checked out. I'm not running a defouler either. Hopefully it's just something stupid. I tried resetting the ECU itself, it was fine for about 20 miles and came back on. The setup was ok for about 400-500ish miles. Hopefully I can find a shop that's open before pool leagues tomorrow
