im not sure they will fit. but if you are .then no, you shouldnt get a cel as long as the o2 sensor(s) is in place . and there are no exhaust leaks.

You will get a CEL if you put a catless header on your car. You'll end up getting the P0420 code (due to a lack of a pre-cat). There is a secondary o2 sensor located after the pre-cat that determines the pre-cat's efficiency levels by measuring the amount of unburnt fuel left in the exhaust stream.

for some reason i was under the impression you were putting on stock scion headers. i will now assume since you got a cel. that they were infact aftermarket. do they delete a cat or something.do a search for cel fix exhaust . you can try a spark plug defouler 18mm mod it. put it on. it might fix your cel. if not your only out of 1.50$ and no electronics or wiring involved.http://www.spyderchat.com/foru...ensorheres a link to the mod.
