Hey, I have a 04 rx8 manual and i purchased the agency power cat delete pipe after my original went out. My CEL on right now and was wondering if you guys found out a way to shut it off. Ive tried 2 spark plug non fowlers and it doesnt work. Any suggestions? Thanks

ya but im trying to get it to shut off. they have the cat foolers u plug into the 02 sensor for other cars but i cant get anything to work,

AP Cobb could disable the CEL for the cat.

try cobb accessport for the 8, from what i read it should clear it up.

k, well the deal is i hate to say it but im getting rid of my car. I need a cheaper car and cant afford what i have now so it has to go. So i really dont want to spend 400 on a cobb then get rid of it right after.

buy a dave cat weld it on, it will make the cel go away.

here is the link on forum, it is a high flow metal cat very durable. it cost 138, it may cost 30 to weld it on.https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...light=dave+cat

its just funny that these people came in and ask stupid question then the next second like oh I can't afford it I have to sell this car ...

I smell a troll.

How is this a stupid question. What kind of person wants to drive around in a nice car with the CEL on. And im sry i can't afford to keep my car im 18 years old i should b glad i even bought the car in the first place. So instead of u makin dumb reply about a stupid queston that ain't dumb b considerate and answer the question. This is a rx8 forum not a place to make fun of people.

And thanks winning 8 for the helpful reply

Without using a Cobb most people just drive with the CEL.

well why don't you sell the agency power cat delete and put the oem back on...duh. selling your current and buying a used oem cat should be close to a wash.

if you ask stupid questions, you're going to get **** for it. and if you are going to sell the car, put that in the original post so people won't offer you $400 suggestions.

Ponto633 can you check the build date of your 8? Look at the tag on the drivers door sill. Mine is a 5/2003 build and I have had a RB dual resonated MP on since April an do not have a CEL. I am just wondering if yours is near mine. If it is then the reason why mine isn't showing must be where the O2 bung is on the RB pipe.

Mine says 05/2003

It might solve the problem sounds like somethin is blocked.......but you'll hafta put it back on for the emissions test.
