Default RX-8 WTF!?!?!

I think my MILS/CEL are ****ing my car up. Doesn't feel as fast with my exhaust on. Today I was yielding, and a RX-8 on that road floored it from the stop sign. Sure he got a significant jump, but I barely pulled on him. When it comes to driving I hate to say it, but I am a damn good driver. I shift quick, @ 5500 RPMS, and I got close to NO wheel spin. WTF is wrong with my car?

its just throwing a code, my cel would come on and off for months, but its finally off now because of my dyno tune. It's not robbing you of much/if any hp. You just got beat by an RX-8...thats all lol
