Default Have you Installed an offroad x-pipe without mil eliminators? Ddi your Stang run crappy?

Hey, I installed an offroad x-pipe and didn't install mil elimnators. After the install the car didn't run as good as before. I knew the check engine light would come on, but assumed that there would be no loss in power.

Is there a loss of power if the mil eliminators aren't installed?

I ordered a set from www.dallasmustang.com , they should be here in about a week. Will I see better performance once I trick the computer that there are cats installed?

Thanks.

NO it will not hurt your performance at all. The cel is just telling you that the cats are not working properly. It has no effect on anything. The loss you may be feeling is because your torque was moved up in the curve. Peopl get the mils or the tuner so they dont have to look at the light.
