CEL w/VRSF Catted DP - O2 Spacers?

Hey all,

Getting a code after installing the catted dp. The specific code is

"102A63, 180001 catless downpipe detected"

I did a search and some people see success using o2 spacers. Those threads were a little over 2 years old..

Can someone recommend a specific one if they had success with it, or other idea's?

If I clear the code it stays off until the car is driven again. Only impact is that it seems I am unable to use the AutoStart when the code is active. Anything else?

Thanks

I think a mini cat would likely be an option as well - has been a successful solution for others in your same situation

Thank you! You or anyone know if this would work - https://prosportgauges.com/products/...or-cel-fix-90a

And if so, which angle would fit, straight, 45, 90

I have the same issue after installing the downpipe yesterday. I attempted to remote start my car today and wouldn't work, then noticed the check engine light. So if there is a solution, I am here for it!

I'm thinking about just doing the dme tune- get performance (hopefully above 70 hp) and they turn it off permanently for 1 grand.

Yeah I mean if you can tune the car that would definitely be the best option as you get more power as well.
