Title: Decat pipe on a RX8
Post by: dom187 on November 04, 2012, 08:35:24 PM
A guy I know is about to put a decat pipe on his RX8 which is stock. I have got an RX7 and I know I would need to get the car mapped if I put a decat on it. Is this the case with an RX8?

Thanks

No it will run without the need of a remap
But he will find he will have the CEL engine light on and may need to look at adding a spacer to the rear O2 sensor

What he said.

You only need to map if you\'re turbo charged as, like the RX7, you can get more boost as the exhaust is less restrictive.  N/A RX8 you don\'t need to.  He\'ll get flames too.
