I am planning to install my new Xpipe tomorrow. Question about the MIL eliminators.
I understand these keep my CEL from coming on. Do the MILs allow the CEL to come on for OTHER problems? Or are the MILs going to keep the CEL from coming on ever? Seems like this might be a little dangerous. Can someone give me the scoop on this?
Thx

The one and only thing the MIL eliminators affect is the rear O2 readings, that's it. The CEL will work just like it should whether the MIL elims are in there or not.

Cool, thanks.
What about the hangers? Will the stock hangers work when I install the xpipe, or will I need to do some fabricating/welding?

The midpipe doesn't attach to any of the hangers.
