Hi everyine
I have 05 accord V6 and a I recently installed OBX header manifold on it. Since the car doesn't have actual headers, that's the only set of pipes i could find to replace that part of exhaust. Stock cats are gone now and i have CEL because of that. Does anyone know how to trick ECU and get rid of the CEL?
Thank You.

 

You need to get a new bung welded on that places the O2 sensor outside of the exhaust stream. An exhaust shop will know exactly what I'm talking about.

 

isn't there something like an O2 cheater that makes ECU think that there is cat? Anyone know where to get it and does it fit all the cars or I have to find one for V6 accord?

 

That is the O2 cheater. And much cheaper than any electronic gizmo.

 

Sorry Brandon, but you are mistaken. The cheater doesn't get welded on. It screws onto the OEM bung and the O2 screws into it. It's just a small piece of pipe. The Megan pipe I have came with the cheater installed. This is a comparison pic of my stock S-pipe to the new one (you guys don't have this pipe).

 

thank you for the help, but where do i get this cheater? is it on ebay?

 

yup .... look up CEL fix, O2 cheater, O2 extension, etc.

Take the spaces out and make it 1 line to get to the ebay ad. Can't link directly to a sale here.

 

You can go to the parts store and get them as well... they don't sell them as cheaters, but you sort of have to build them witht he exhaust parts they have.
