Ok guys as you can see on the bottom I have an offroad X-Pipe and the darned check engine light was always on. Well, as all of you must know you can get the mil eliminators to turn it off. I've always heard that the light isn't just on it turns down your timing and and puts your car in "safe mode." Very doubtful I installed the mil's and my light did turn off and all I can say is WOW on the timing part. It really did make a huge difference. The car is back to its smoothness, I love it. Just wanted to clear up some doubtfullness here and there. Very good mod! My cockpit is so dark now. I was so used to the glare of yellow in the corner of my eyes.

Old news for me, I installed them as soon as i swapped into an O/R x-pipe, I knew about the CEL problem........What type did you get, the plug ones or the splice ones............dont tell me you got the later..enjoy the darkness of your cockpit, regarding the change in performance is all in your head guys.</P>

Oh. and beware..the CEL might still come up once in a while, even with MIL's ..to erase the code from the computer when it comes up(did you erase it?)I bought an OBDII scanner.........</P>

I got the plug in ones. Yeah I barely fit under my car when I put it on ramps. Oh my check engine light did come on once again. I was wondering wtf was going on? How frequently will it do that? What is this you say about erasing the code? Will it come and go ? Whats the deal. I really really really like my exhaust sound. It sounds like a race car engine and not just "oh hes got pipes." Screamin is when is sounds the best, Idle down may lack but I wouldn't change it.</P><edited><editID>mabguru</editID><editDate>37996.9598611111</editDate></edited>
