With the older cars, it would flag up as when you change the downpipe sometimes they didnt re-attach the sensor - this would cause the check engine light to come on.

Thumbs up

I have a full Scooby sport exhaust too, and my check enigine light is on all the time. It is trying to tell you there is a problem with your CAT's, ie. you have none!!

You can get a by pass thingy from Scooby sport to get round this. Your dealer should have told you what caused it, and not cherged you £25.

Talk to Pete Croney...the full decat on the MY01 will be picked up as a Catalyst not working optimally error and CEL. Scoobysport have got a 'chip' (?) that disables this particular warning.
