Looking to replace the downpipe and catback with Eurocode,feedback?
Ive heard of gains made with this mod,but people have experienced CEL code errors.What exactly ARE CEL errors?How can we prevent any errors and have a clean mod installation?

I have the EC HiFlo Cat and a HiFlow Downpipe/Exhaust from Milltek. I have an occasional CEL on Stock ECU programming.
CEL = Check Engine Light. It's a crappy generic warning light that doesn't tell you anything other than 'take me to the dealer'. You can do two things to prevent the CEL:
1) Upgrade your ECU with the APR software to their Stage 1.5 or Stage 2 software. It tells the secondary sensor to not send the notification to the ECU about there being a lean or too rich condition, therefore no CEL.
2) Get a spacer for the sensor, to allow some of the gasses to be filtered and 'fool' the ECU. This is the option I preferred and I can honestly say the only time I get a CEL is when I really get on it, causing a too rich reading and triggering the light.
