Turning off CEL wt Midpipe
I currently have the RacingBeat midpipe installed and I have the CEL because of no cat. I also have the COBB AP, is there any way of turning off the CEL wt the COBB other than to keep resetting the ECU, or do I need to get a custom tune that will turn it off.
Also, i know you can download the software from COBB to custom tune your own maps. Is the COBB stage 1 map unlocked so that I could try and figure out how to turn off the rear O2 cel? Sorry for all the questions, thanks!

I would buy the MazdaManiac Custom Calibration Service. http://www.mazdamaniac.com/cobb/accessport.htm. He will be able to turn off your CEL due to the midpipe and also give you a far superior tune to the cobb maps.

I was planning on doing his custom tuning, but I wanted to wait till later this summer when I get the RB intake and cat-back. That's why I was seeing if there was any way to do it myself for the time being.

Open up the Race tuner, load map, click edit, choose advanced parameters.
DTC's will be listed. Unclick the ones you don't want monitored. save map. load onto cobb, reflash ecu.
Code should be gone...atleast thats how i think it works, but im not 100% sure. haven't messed with mine yet.

ever heard about the non fouler trick? just go to your local auto parts store and look for the help! brand parts, what your looking for is a spark plug non-fouler the size of your o2 connection on the midpipe, the packing will have two parts, you need both, one that you will drill with a 1/2 drill mesh and then you screw both together, then you screw them on to the connection of the midpipe, and on that you plug your o2 sensor. this tricks the sensor by reading less gas. i didnt invent this, i had found that idea on a wrx/sti forum, had for my civic and it worked fine. worth trying for about 10$

It's really not worth the time it takes to install it, even if it doesn't take that long.

I've heard of MIL eliminators for Mustangs/Cobras. Infact, my bf has them on his car (catless MAC prochamber)....and they turn off the CEL by telling the car the o2 sensor is running fine. It goes inbetween the connect from the car to the o2 sensor.
Do they not have these for the 8?
