Says its a private photobucket account for me. Why not just paste the links to specific pictures here with IMG tags.

The check engine light could take many many miles to come on, or it might never come on. I would give it 300+ miles to come on from what I have read on here.

How do you like the sound of the exhaust? Is it pretty much the same as stock?

It will most likely come on after some mileage. don't be suprised if it does. Would be interesting to hear how different your car sounds than mine since I have the RB catback but not the midpipe.
You have a way to constantly read the code so you will know if any other code pops up?

I am very impressed with Cat delete, and catback exhaust from racing beat, fit perfectly, alot deeper tone now and really screams on full throttle and quiets down in lower rpms...

plus you can really smell the fumes burning, kind of like a ATV

What I meant was......................when/if your CEL(Check Engine light) comes on because of the CAT delete. You won't know if anything else in the future causes a CEL or not. If you had a code reader you could at least check it for other codes, or you could always buy the Cobb AP which can mask that CEL(for the o2 sensor).
Check around thoroughly before deciding on getting an AP though as it's sort of dis-continued but back from the dead. The AP is also very good for a specialized tune for the car, but can take a long time to get this tune and directions need to be followed exactly. If interested, then research on this site.

Oh......I forgot you had an S2........maybe not. My bad!
I'd have to go research!


As I saw your other thread you made................"Aftermarket Wheels thread" is a good place to look for wheels. Use Advanced Search and look for it. Has tons and tons of wheels in it with pics.
