guys

I have driven it now for two weeks

it is running fine , except that the check engine light keeps coming back around every 5 days, and i clear it using superchips

when i read the DTC after the check engine light flashes, the superchips show these 3 messages








maybe the cats are old i guess

what are your opinions ?

updates:

a couple days ago, i've removed the cats that i've already added to the borla y-pipe and return it like before

i wanted to see if there are any real gains from the headers

i noticed a power loss and the sound increased a lot, i was really dissapointed from the borla headers

today i went and try it on the dunes

now i have changed my mind about them. there is a certain gain in the rpm between 4 - 5.5. it helped a lot in climbing high dunes

before i used to feel the power in desert between the rpms 1.5-3.5

i think the power band has been shifted to the higher rpm. i don't use my jk on highways a lot and this is why i didn't feel the gains

all in all, after today's experience i am satisfied by the headers but eventually i should have a custom tune to maximize the gains

my only issue is that i have to tame the sound without lossing power
