Exhaust CEL fix?

[Aleks]

So after a week of course the CEL comes on, and its for the catalytic converter, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a fix for this, hardware, or otherwise, and I guess the natural second question is has anyone gone to get dealer work done and been questioned about this?

Re: Exhaust CEL fix?

really? you've got a CEL with the 2.5" system?

there is a "fix" posted on vortex. I believe it involves installing a little extender so the o2 sensor isn't quite in the main exhaust stream.

I'll see if I can find it...

Every cat that flows different than stock is going to probably cause this sooner or later.

I saw that too, so when I went to C1 today to pick up my dogbone bushings, I thought I would ask, I swore I saw it there, and they had heard nothing of it, it looked like a little elbow almost...
