O\R H-pipe finally screwed me over, this ever happen to you?
 

Before I got my O\R H-pipe everyone said the check engine light will come on if i dont get mil elimators, well I hoped i would get lucky and for a good 3-4 months no check engine light just great sound, as soon as i hit 70,000 miles the check engine light comes on, i know it has to be my exhaust, ever happen to you guys, thanks for any imput

I've had my O/R X pipe for a good six months or more with 51K on the car. Luckily no light. I keep expecting the thing to come on but so far so good. I'm actually taking out the X and putting back the old stock unit minus four of the six cats. The sound of the X thru the flows is very annoying at times, especially with the top down!

The light coming on is a forgone conclusion, nothing screwed you over you knew what you were getting into. You've been lucky nothing more.

Buy the mil eliminators and be done with it...

I seen the mil's for 30 bucks, it says 30 minutes to install with hand tools and directions, how hard are they to install??? I'm gonna post a pic tomorrow maybe tonight, it looks like I have mil's already cause it looks like there hanging low, so please check in tomorrow for my pic if i even know how to post it, thanks

i have them and my check engine light stays on most of the time anyway...whats the deal with that?when i first got the pipe it didnt come on for quit sometime either, when it did i got them and it went of for a while after that...but nowdays it stays on most of the time and only clicks off every once in a while....also my car smells like its runnin rich sometimes.whats up with this i even smell it inside the car......

it may not be your pipe some cars have automatic check engine lights that come on when it time to replace the sensors since you have 70,000 miles it may just be time to replace them

yea right as soon as i hit 70,000 miles last week the light came on, i may not even need the mil's but i am anyways cause the light didnt come on the 4 months i had the off road pipe but who knows

You got lucky, my friend and I just put on my o/r h-pipe, and my check engine light went on the same day.

My 98gt has the whole exaust package and the check engine light wnet on from the start. It seems (After I did some checking) that the ecm's on the 98's are particulary hard to please. If a sensor goes out the computer reverts to a default mode. ( I don't know if this is the correct term) and uses a value that was good at one time. Allowing one to get somewhere for help.

buy mil's man...check ebay or the classifieds at the mustang websites..
