alright well i got my megan racign header about 2 maybe 3 months ago and immediatley after i got in installed the cel light popped up. I always planned to use the anti-fouler method but never got around to it(i know im lazy) well today i went to get my oil changed through toyota and the kid who was working there and changing my oil comes into the waiting area and tells me my cel light is up and that he liked my headers. I told him what i planned to do with the anti-fouler and he didnt even let me finish because he said he would get rid of it for me so i said if u say so and all he did was clean out the converter and i get my car back thinking it wouldn't work and it did. He also said to tell anyone else that i knew who was having the same problem not to waste money on anything else.

 

but as it gets dirty again, wont the CEL pop back up? thus needing another cleaning?

 

im not exactly sure it might be the case but he stated that it wont pop again because he had the same problem and it hasnt happened to him if u want try it go to your toyota dealership and just tell them you have a cel light and they will do the same thing

 

Does the CEL still come on when you turn the key to the on position, without starting the car? He might have just unplugged the bulb

 

nope i tried that to make sure and it doesnt come up thats what i originally thought he did

 

It's supposed to come on for a split second and then go off. If it doesn't do that. Then he did unplug it.

 

no i know what your saying and thats what it does it just goes on for a wuick second and i also asked him if he unplugged it

 

that bulb is an led

 

Oh ok

 

so just clean the converter?

 

.... cat converter? what converter? -.-a isnt the stock header gots the converter?

 

One of them. Number two is the little one after the s-pipe

 

ok ok.. let me get this straight, the stock header have the cat converter. after that is the "s-pipe" which assuming he gots a stock one. could it be? a converter there? You're saying little one after the s-pipe? which is the cat back, youre sayin theres a converter on the cat back?

 

that's exactly what I'm saying. It's a small one right after where the exhaust bolts to the s-pipe.

 

ok ok i get ya^_^ juss making sure

 

My question is....Why is this in the FI section?

 

is there some special way u are suppose to clean the converter?

 

wait what are you saying i have stock? because all the guy did was clean the cat converter

 

i have a stock s pipe if thats wat ur sayin wit a trd exhaust and then i have the megan racing header

 

so as what im saying up there.. the cat converter is gone, cus it was on the stock header... and he sez that he gots megan.. UNLESS megan out of nowhere got some cat converter in their header. lol ionno never seen it. I have AW so im guessing its the same. n e wayz.. and like munch sed the second small converter which is after the spipe.. is that what they cleaned?? i kinda doubt it. ohh wellz im wondering how they cleaned it? just taking it off is a pain in the butt... lol.. i didnt know u can clean the converter-.-a
