Just what the title says. For the guys with the JBA high flow pipes, do they throw a CEL?????????

The Stig · 07-02-2012, 11:58 AM

yes/no. About 50% of the people who install them end up throwing a code at some point. Myself included.

I've had mine on for atleast 7,000 miles, no CEL.

Did you eventually have to get it tuned out?

How do you like em? I dont want to drop $700 on Solo and am really interested in a set of these.

orangejuice · 07-02-2012, 01:37 PM

Do I need extenders for this?

I've had mine for about 6 months, no cel. I did buy the extenders just in case but have them sitting on a shelf. For the small price, I would go ahead and buy them and install them on the two pre-cat O2's. They really woke up my Magnaflow cat-back, and you can certainly feel the boost in HP.

The extenders are post cat. If you install them pre cat you will totally screw the fueling.

And yes you can tune this out. If you have the L99 then you most likey will want to do that anyway.

Check the marketplace. I've seen great deals on used solos from guys that return to stock or upgrade to long tubes.

x2. Look for pricing on a used set of LS3 SOLO's to be around $375 shipped. The L99 a bit more.

The LS3's won't fit on a L99 will they?

Remember guys even if you throw a code here and there it's not the end of the world. Generally, the code is for insufficent catalyst. It's not a big deal, you can verify the code and delete it with a $25 scanner from ebay. We sell both the Solo and JBA's and they both have gotten good reviews.
