Please see my posts under Milltek downpipe withdrawn in the US.

I'm asking for help to get Milltek to come up with a fix for this issue.

I have their cat back system and when I purchased it in Nov. 07 was told by the US distributor that the downpipe was recalled but would be back on the market shortly after they resolve the CEL light issue. Late this month they informed me, Milltek has no plans to release a revised downpipe in the US and were selling in the UK & Europe with a disclaimer re the CEL issue.

Rubbish! Milltek should have the resources to find a fix. It's either in the Cat design or the O2 sensor bungs are not allowing the sensor to be seated properly and therefore the CEL is triggered thinking there is a problem.

Please, let's try to get Milltek to address this issue by contacting them. Maybe when they realize the market potential they will step up with a fix.

Cheers.
