So you've changed the DP 4 times? If the catless or catted ER worked why waste money on the VRSF? I don't really understand why you'd be throwing money away.

To get rid of the CEL you just need to install a spark plug defouler in between the downpipe and 2nd o2 sensor. Its not that big of a deal.

Have you tried that and had success?

There are also products like this: http://www.bigdaddiesgarage.com/mini...oaAmikEALw_wcB .

However, I've not seen any posts from someone trying it out to see if it worked with a Catted DP.

Yes I am doing this right now. AFE catless down pipe, spark plug defouler and no tune. Its fine. Eventually I will get a bootmod3 flash, but this is fine for now. Runs great and no CEL.

I mean I guess you could spend an extra fifty dollars for the catted spacer you posted the link to.... but I dont think its that big of a deal. Just save your money for a bootmod3 flash....
