Default Decat

At last!!!! I have bought myself a Decat pipe!

Just wonderind about the MIL light? Will I need something else done to eliminate this?

How easy are they to put on?

Running a decat will require either a MIL eliminator or bluefin with the decat file to stop the light illuminating

Surely if you're gonna be driving around with the engine management light on all the time how would u know when the car may have a real problem - at least by fitting a mil or bluefin you will know that when the light comes on its for something that would need looking at rather than just assuming its to do with the decat

I would fit a mil-eliminator for reasons Alex said. Plus its damn annoying too.

Not all fo them come on, if they do a battery reset will get rid of them for some amount of time.

I will be fitting Bluefin eventually I am just eager to get the Decat pipe on and wondered if there was gonna be any probs without having a mil eliminator or BF on the car
