I think problem in the H-pipe resonator! I will try to remove it and reset error, cuz resonator increase back pressure and we need to have it LOW, cuz they measure pressure before OPF filter! will check soon, will do the same exhaust like u did, do you know u use 70mm both tubes or more?

H-pipe resonator is the only difference we have . Probably this is the main reason for the pressure. I don't know the tube size, but I guess is 70

So your car has only 2 x OPF and small silencers removed and no Engine light? Seems an easy mod.


"H" pipe on the other car causing engine light?

I know, Is strange..
From the new exhaust I made more or less 1800 Km and no engine light . In north of Italy the temperature is in the morning is +5 and during the day +13 at the moment .

IF TTR will do the same and no engine light come out we found the better way .

I decided not to mod my exhaust for now. Without the opf filter from the factory, my US spec car does make enough sound for the moment. Besides, I'm shipping it back to the States in a month where my acquired Italian driving habits will need to be significantly curbed if I want to keep my license. I'll move back here in 4 years and will maybe mod it then when I can "play" more. I just finished the break in and did the fluid changes allowing me to drive it harder now closer to red line. This thing is strong!

IF you mean ripping out the P/Filters in the exhaust thats an offense, as in the UK the emissions system will be compromised, good luck with it, hope NO CEL.

I decide do not to cut resonator, will only remap car to delete opf sendor and also will delete cold start (catalyst heat). Speak with few good speacilist - everybody said, that can't be conntected to the check engine light and u always need remap if u delete OPF, even if the check engine light is off.

Just connect the car to an ECU diagnostic.
Error on OPF filter but no light on the dashboard , they must change the value in order to solve .
They found also at 2600KM one error on the 6 cylinder. Hard detonation at 80Km/h 4800rpm but no error and recovery problem . We think that when develop the new exhaust they test the car forgetting to connect some cable otherwise the car will stop immediately. No other error after that and the car run perfectly

Sorry for my bad English I hope you will understand.

At the moment after removing the two of filters the car sound very good and this is very loud when you open the valves . On comfort mode is perfect loud enough but not so noisy . We are talking to decat but for my opionion don't make any sense , Is not an M2 or M3/4 , it's a SUV . You can add 1000hp but you can not use them on 2 Tons car . For me now is enough . The occasion for an ECU remap to solve the OPF trouble is good also for adding some more HP , but it's just an excuse . If for the car it was not necessary to remap only for the opf, I would have never remapped it
