Downpipe with no check engine light ?

Is there a down pipe that will guarantee no check engine light with out a tune

I'm looking in buying one but with out adding ib4 or any ecu work or tunning

Any one can help me on this or have some experience on some downpipes

Thanks

Downpipe would be much more beneficial if you did get a tune, I would def get a JB4 or flash.

Fabspeed has a chatted downpipe that even says on their website that they will not throw a CEL. I'm actually looking at getting one but I'm waiting in some other research I'm a cat sensor spacer at the moment.

No DP will give 100% guarantee to pass emission. A lot of the companies give you promises but no one will return your money if you get a check engine light

The higher the quality of the DP the less likely to get an engine light. Fabspeed, Wagner and Evolution Racewerks are one of the highest quality DP available

Fabspeed uses HJS cats which are known for they high quality

Don't waste your money on a catted downpipe. Your gonna put money into something you won't be happy with.

Either catless + jb4 or don't do it.

I prefer catless but some like catted.

No fuel smell + more refined sound
