Haha, I never had that issue because my tuning device had an option to disable the light.Found the perfect fix for my CEL
(Catless Downpipe problems)
Locked/2021 maybe?Haha, I never had that issue because my tuning device had an option to disable the light.
True, that thought didn't really cross my mind. I suppose I looked at it as "why even change the downpipe if it can't be tuned?"Locked/2021 maybe?
To make a ton more power. The downpipe actually restricts the stock turbine flow. Slightly faster spool without out it, and you can absolutely adjust the boost with a ProTune/JB4/Other Piggyback.True, that thought didn't really cross my mind.

Would you mind elaborating on the hood? I've been one click away from ordering a seibon hood for some time now but this doesn't sound great..hey new to the group so i guess i put up photos of mines nitro yellow supra with pure 800 and flex fuel, tuned by payne. I’m currently having an issue with the new carbon hood where it flexes a quite a bit when at high speeds. i have adjusted the hood and it still does it.
there’s a gap the causes wind to go before hood and fenderWould you mind elaborating on the hood? I've been one click away from ordering a seibon hood for some time now but this doesn't sound great..
Seibon also says on the product page for every Supra carbon hood that hood pins are requiredAll CF hoods should be installed with hood pins or AeroCatch. Your hood is flexing because you have not yet installed the correct safety mechanisms to reliably run a CF hood.
Very nice!!Got these in today for @NVSpecialties. I'll be having them refinished in a satin clear coat soon. For anyone that doesn't like carbon overlays (like myself) these are direct replacements.
I have nothing against carbon overlays. They just aren't for me.
just ordered the pins thanks, i’ve had/have many performance cars but this is the first on that i’ve ever put a carbon hood onThe stock hood also has a gap all the way around, posing as a body line. The real issue is that CF hoods are incredibly lightweight compared to a stock hood, and can turn into an aerofoil at speed. At best, this will cause the hood to flex and distort at speed. Worst case: the hood can catch so much upward force that it overpowers the hood latch and smashes into the windshield.

Yea true, I completely forgot about the increased flow actually being able to make more power even in stock form. The shop that dynoed my Supra before the tune did notice about a 20ish horsepower and torque gain from just the downpipe change. I also didn't think about the fact that they could be using a JB4 because I figured it might have a way of disabling the CEL for the Cat.To make a ton more power.

As to why you'd go catless unless you're BigTurbo™, I have no idea.
