CEL light for ap midpipe

Alrite so ive had the greddy sp2 and the AP midpipe setup for about a week and half to two weeks. I havent been getting any CEL cause the anti fauler method it masks it but then when i was driving yesterday and i braked pretty hard my CEL came on and from that point its on now. Any ideas?

Get the CEL code read at Autozone (free) and let us know what it is.
Could be anything and we would all just be throwing random guesses in the air.

anti-foulers don't work on the rx-8.

If the CEL code comes back as being P0420, then its because you're running catless.
Never hurts to have the code read just to be safe.

Some people with older models can get away with having a midpipe and no CEL (maybe less than 10%).
No way to tell for sure which cars will/will not experience this.

Okay, normally I'm against bashing anyone, but before you open your mouth, why don't you try the "search" function and read up on the subject.

It will occasionally work on the 2004 model.
Usually, the light will trip in two or three drive cycles on the 2005.
It will fail almost immediately on the 2006 - 2008.
