2021s with sport cats: will CEL eventually go off?
Just installed Soul sport cats on my 2021 C2S. Love the product but had a CEL pop up after ~100 miles with them. John at Soul was transparent this might happen and said many folks will have the CEL go off a few hundred miles later. He was also kind enough to send me a set of o2 spacers (which are installed and on the car) even though I bought the cats used off another Rennlister. Good service from them as usual.
My question: should I expect the CEL to eventually go off on its own? Or should I adjust my expectations to just live with it?
I just installed the non valved exhaust with sport cats and got a CEL instantly. I cleared the codes and will go on a drive tomorrow. Hopefully I dont see the CEL tomorrow while driving.
CELs seem commonplace...no matter the sport cats. The issue seems to be with the HJS 200 cell cat being right on the edge of tolerances and the very tight parameters in the 992 compared to the 991.
I have noticed that if I warm up first in Normal mode rather than hopping into Sport, a CEL is spared...Sport throws off a lot more fuel for those pops, which may be a trigger until the cats are at proper operating temps.
Good thing is that the P0420 and P0430 clear in a snap and no longer raise concern.
Got an armytrix 200cel sport cat installed. Throws CEL pretty much all the time. I'm going to try and let the car warm up before taking it out of normal mode but I'm leaning towards spacers or just going for the tune.

I'm afraid not. The CEL came on despite them being installed. I haven't gotten around to clearing the CEL yet but hopefully it doesn't come back once it's cleared.
