Long Term Catted DP report?

Hi all, just looking for some long term report from anyone who have installed any brand high flow Catted DP.

many threads I looked at all talked about the immediate gains, but I guess the main point a lot of us went with Catted DP instead of Catless DP is for the CEL light.

mainly looking for some long term reports for the FaBSpeed Sport cat...(any CEL lights, how long have you had them for, any changes over the time span?

Thanks in advance!

Long Term Catted DP

Not sure what mileage qualifies as long-term, but I have several thousand miles on my Fabspeed catted DP and no CEL's thus far. I have not detected any change in the sound or performance. Eventually, even OEM cats will wear out and I suspect aftermarket cats will be no different, but, unless you are planning on keeping the car over 100K miles, it probably doesn't matter. I think the Fabspeed is about as well-made a Sport cat as any on the market. I am very happy with mine.

I heard the HJS cat that Fabspeed use its high quality tri metalic so should last more than factory ceramic... Long term I was thinking 20k km or so, 15k miles? Thanks for the reply!!

+1 Fabspeed is the best when it comes to suppressing the CEL code

Another option would be a catless Wagner DP + BMS can flap module to hide the code

Running ER catted DP

NO smell ( I am driving a convertible even roof down)

Sounds Increase not amazing but in high revs good enough

No Drone

Sometimes CEL, read the code says cat not high efficiency, use jb4 clear and good to go.

We chatted before and even got one ordered up but just to throw in my experience - I have over 15xxx hard miles on my Sport Cat and it still works like a charm! Can't wait for you to get yours!
