if you are stillon your stock turbo you will loose a lot of low end torque 3" is pretty big sell it to some other sucker and go buy yourself a high flow cat you won't have to be worring day and night on how to get that CEL to turn off

i dont even know why ud want a 3" on any k series turbo unless it was 26 or 26 and that has a diff exhaust flange. i love how people think bigger is better..lol...i know im gettin my borla d/p redone before i put it on though bc i saw it got horrible reviews on its weld job and the flow characteristics looked like crap so im gonna get a 2.5 straight through design welded on.

Lol I bet it used to be mine, who'd you buy it off? I installed it and didn't experience gains or losses when i had my k04, but man did it sound cool. Could really hear spoolup

Yup, if u use too anti foulers for spark plugs u might be able to get rid of the cel by spacing out the secondary o2 sensor

yep, there are ways around the CEL, i did the spark plug non fouler and it worked, there is like 2 or 3 other things you can do to eliminate the cel. Americanhall, spelling? did it too and got a CEL and then asked me about the spark plug non fouler and it worked for him as well. I guess it all depends on yor car.
