You will get a CEL.

If you want to run downpipes with no tune, the catted options from Active Autowerke and Fabspeed guarantee no CEL.

I've been looking for oxygen sensor spacers with the mini catalytic converter in it
that will allow me to run a catless downpipe with no check engine light

yeah I tried MADs catless downpipes but removed them next day. Crazy loud when combined with single midpipe. Be sure You think it through before purchasing. With sound levels I measured I would have been banned from the race tracks.

catless downpipes will make every setup a lot louder, it's definitely something worth considering before making a purchase; the catted downpipes are a better option, in my opinion, unless your goal is to get a very aggressive sound.

Agreed...a 200 cell is perfect.

With all that (in case you forgot, change injectors and colder plugs...and of course, the tune), you don't want to upgrade the twins, you would want to go single big turbo. You will also need to, at the very least, tune the trans or go with an aftermarket Pure transmission.

Has anyone tried the Akrapovic catted downpipe with stock ECU? Any lower gain? Did the CEL come up?
