pd4surfing Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I recently upgraded to a Flowmaster 40 and 2.25 exhaust, we also removed the cat. Sounds great, and much improved flow and power, but my check engine light has come on a few times...usually when driving along in 4th or 5th at lower rpm. 1500-2200. Then when I gear down, and rev her up to 3000 - 3500 rpm shifting between 1st 2nd 3rd, the light will go out. Haven't checked the codes yet, but wondering if anyone had any ideas? Or if anyone had the same situation after uprading their exhaust? Maybe O2 sensor? Any help would be great!

88pathoffroad Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Check the codes, check to make sure the O2 sensor is actually plugged in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 i'd say o2 sensor reading strange running a teat pipe(i am guessing since you said you yanked the converter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Lack of backpressure will not let the EGR system work properly. You may need to reinstall the cat or get a high flow unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 we also removed the cat. But the cat back on regardless. There is no reason not to run a high flow version. Be responsible... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 But the cat back on regardless. There is no reason not to run a high flow version. Be responsible... B I'm with B. A high flow universal is cheap, it won't cost you ANY noticeable hp, may actually add torque, will reduce the tailpipe stench, and is just good karma. Why be a gross polluter when it is so easy not to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
