twijr1 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looking for input/advice. Anyone had experience with this product. I am a little concerned about the ECU being plugged in the system. Will it effect my factory settings. Don't know if it reprograms or just alters what comes out of the computer. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

DaSwede_420 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 anything aftermarket will have an effect on your car, good or bad, run it for a while, if you have problems it's prob just a sensor or ECU that needs to be tuned. never know tiill you try! Good luck. even tho research shows that stock intake is best........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to add Cat's... if you add cats you might as well leave it stock... what you do get is an 02 simulator which pretty much replaces the post cat 02 sensor and relays information back to your ECU as if though you had a functioning cat... you'll pass inspections in most states that just use the OBDII diagnostic port.
