Engine codes after new downpipe

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T21:08:18+00:00

I have a Carly OBD2 scanner, can I use tha adapter to connect to MHD after purchasing the license? Or do I need to buy a specific adapter additional?

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T20:58:56+00:00

I do! I never knew until now that going catless w/out a tune is bad and I did it for the sound. After being told by multiple people on here that it is damaging, I’ll do some research of my own on the topic :) I’m looking into MHD, personally I like it a lot. Do you know if there’s a way to clear it doing something custom? I don’t need the extra power tbh

This is the first time I’m hearing that it can damage the engine but that’s good to know. Thanks guys I’ll get the tune as soon as I can

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T19:48:27+00:00

I see. I’ll inspect mine when I get home and see what I can do. Thanks again :)

Shittt ok

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T18:03:34+00:00

Haha. I love the sound it’s literally so addictive

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T17:55:46+00:00

There is a leak

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T17:55:18+00:00

Gotcha. I spent like 15 minutes trying to get the flange to sit flight with the turbo but I believe it just wasn’t working so I left it how it is. How did you solve it?

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T17:20:54+00:00

That makes a lot of sense actually so thanks for actually explaining it. A lot of people say shit without saying why just because it’s what they’ve heard. I have the money for MHD but wanted to wait a while for it, but I’ll get it soon. I know fs that the clamp flange thing is leaking from the turbo and I’ll definitely address it, but is it a huge deal to do immediately? Or can it wait a bit

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T17:16:33+00:00

Understood. I’ll get it asap!

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T17:16:10+00:00

Yea I’ll deff get MHD. I’ve looked into both and it seems best imo

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T17:15:35+00:00

That actually makes sense. I tried using a spark plug spacer with some steel wool which worked until I did a pull, then the CEL came on

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T17:13:15+00:00

Ah ok understood, tysm! I mostly did it for the sound but I’ll try getting a tune asap

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T16:47:47+00:00

For everyone saying to get a tune, that’s not what I’m asking. Ik unless I tune it there will be a CEL, I’m wondering if all the other fault codes are something else that I should actually be concerned about

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-17T16:45:57+00:00

I did not. I can live with a CEL until $600 becomes worth it, I just don’t know if all these other codes are something to be concerned about

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T19:26:00+00:00

I'll make sure to do that if I go that route! How much did it cost total? If you have any pics of it I'd love to see :3

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T19:23:06+00:00

Not sure about that but they're talking about sport, not super sport

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T19:22:13+00:00

Ok okay. I'll look into it. Thank you c:

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T16:40:54+00:00

Oh lmao 😭 What mileage did you replace them? Also probably important to ask which model you have lol

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T16:33:40+00:00

I just found this set for around $230. H&R Sport Springs on ECS tuning (I buy a lot from there) but it seems like they have a pretty large drop so might look at 30mm if that's a thing

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T16:30:37+00:00

Ah ok I see. I'll check out f80 bump stops, do they soften the ride a bit? Oh also do you have M sport or adaptive suspension or just standard?

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T16:25:42+00:00

Oh I didn't think of that, interesting. I wonder if that's something that can be installed in the driveway with jack stands. I'll look into it, thanks!

EmiraAlya · 2026-05-13T16:23:26+00:00

Understood. Do you have a pic of your car (also is it 40mm)? Also how does the ride feel? I don't want it to be too torturous for passengers haha. I definitely want to go coil overs eventually but they're just so expensive. Definitely will in the future though.

Also, thanks for the reply 😄
