Default Anyone else out there with Milltek DPs getting "Warm Up Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold" codes

I used to get these codes (P0421, P0431) occasionally, typcially while driving genteely after a track event, but now I am getting them constantly for both banks. WTF?

Default I have a feeling if anyone has they won't post the results...

From what I've heard they don't do much, if anything at all in regards to performance.

They sound nice though ;-)

I think the performance comes in with a Chip...not just the hardware. That being said....we will still need to see dyno numbers

Default I have and I posted them

Doesn't anyone read?

To recap, these were the dyno runs where I determined that the intake flap was not opening, and as a result the intake was starved above 4500 rpm. But below that the gains are pretty big when compared to the same day baseline and a previous run 6 months earlier at much lower temperature.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rs4b7/msgs/58454.phtml">Milltek downpipe dyno</a></li></ul>

Default See above. You must have missed the two times I posted them.

When I get around to putting in a switch for the intake flap, I'm going to go back down to EPL and dyno again, to show the effect of flap open and flap closed. I suspect this will open up the top end with the downpipes and catbacks.

Default Scott....your dyno plots are of DP+ cat-back. It doesn't address the issue of......

additional power gains from the downpipes over cat-back alone.

Or am I missing something???
