Ragazzon downpipe fitted.....CEL after 500km

Hi, i m from Hong Kong. Just fitted the Ragazzon downpipe on my 2007 MCS Automatic. Yes, huge performance gains and love it but CEL after 500km happy runs ! What should i do now ? Will this affect my engine performance ? Or can i just leave the engine warning light there ? Do i need to change bk the original downpipe with cat ? Thanks.

If you're decatted it's normal. Some people have driven their R56 without CELs with your setup, but with the decat version you are more than likely to get a CEL. I have an Alta downpipe that trips my light all the time and that's pretty much all it does... trip a light. I don't think the ECU is adjusting air/fuel ratios and if it is, I'm not feeling a difference between when I reset the CEL and when it's back on again. I say keep the downpipe on. It's a pain installing it and then having to remove it

Riss Racing is developing an O2 sensor hack that will hopefully solve all our problems soon! They seem to be very dedicated to developing new products.

How much did you get it for ($USD?) and where did you order from?

Do you have pictures of it installed?
