Mine didnt through a CEL...

who installed it for you??

maybe you have a air leak from the spacers not being installed correctly..

Best thing to do is find out what the CEL is and report back...

i'm sure you just have to do the idle re-learn procedure.

You definately need to know what codes they are. Did you disconnect the VIAS connector?

My idle was "fine," but when my tech hooked it his scanner up it showed that it was too high by about 150rpm.

lol ok so going from just exhuast to cai , spacers , plate and exhuast and previously having all the parts installed separatly and just cai , spacers , exhaust this is what i feel

cai - top end power especially in 3rd gear where the car is choking on top
plate - also top end works great with all of the parts that i have , around 4700 the car doesn't feel like its pushing hard but it feels light , seems like the car is breathing much better up there , not a super HP mod but deff gave that top end
spacers - the most pleasing mod the torque at 4000 rpms and up to like 5500 is just amazing , midrange power is awesome , and that sexy wistle ,the best mod for the money 100%
exhaust - waste of money, custom made for $100 probably will do same thing
Now y pipe is here going to install on sunday =D
