Is it like that all the time or just when the exhaust is "cold"

It's pretty flat here. I live in Chicago so most of the time my brakes are used in panic stops avoiding potholes, pedestrians, and people who can't accelerate going into suicide merges. Previous owner lived in NYC and between the two of us the brakes only made it to 23k miles.

Hmm that's strange, I guess the wrap could absorb vibrations and alter the way the sound resonates but I'm no expert
My next purchase is going to be uel headers I'm just worried about 2 things, rasp at high revs and a cel, have you thrown any cels with yours ? |

UELs won't throw a CEL, but a lot of catback setups will. UELs give rumble, not rasp. The only way it would be raspy is from your exhaust/cat/muffler setup

Right now I have a 3" invidia wrx cat back with no resonator, it's got a lot of lows so it kind of drowns out the rasp at High rpms

My UEL's made me throw P0031. At this point, the only thing I think it could be is that the sensor got damaged because can't think of a reason fro this code coming up with UEL's because its for low voltage to the sensor heater (and even when the car warms up, the code stays on).

Before I got my headers and I just had my catback, the rasp was only present during when the car was cold as well. Once it heated up the the low end rasp would be gone but occasionally you could hear rasp on the high end. I did not have a resonator at that time. Just my experience so far. |

The last thing I need is to spend that much money and throw a code, especially since my inspection is due sometime this year

Headers definitely cause a CEL. The fact that there isn't a cat in aftermarket headers is why a p0420 would occur.

Post winter roads are the best! I hit the biggest pot hole I've ever hit in my life, I almost cried, it was that big.

Any damage? Where I used to live some of our roads were the original brick that had just been paved over top of. Every season giant swaths of asphalt would breakdown and disappear leaving 8" deep holes for your car to fall into. Good times.

None that I've noticed, luckily! But it was brutal, had to be like 4 inch deep and like 8 inches wide. I normally avoid it but this time I forgot about it

" I've had my Borla's for years, and I get the P0420 code from time to time. Maybe 3 times a year if any at all, but I usually just erase it and I'm good to go. Running stock cats though." -rs25.com Lol I can find these cases non stop all day. The point is UELs are pretty much guaranteed to toss a code. My rallisport's were code free for about 6mo. My friend has went through 2 borla rep uels and 1 borla uels his 2.5i all which threw p0420. Quote:
