It's called marketing

Also, supposedly the sensors are more sensitive in the US than EMEA? Not sure about that one.

Word is they might have tested their microcats on a European M5 which is less strict than the U.S Version that's why it worked.

This is a major fail. I am doing all this research to get the microcats installed in the AMS dp's and it sounds like it doesnt even work.

Don't worry just buy the catted.

greentrbo95gst · 08-16-2013, 04:03 PM

Too late. I already have the catless ones.

Can't you return them and swap them out for the catted?? If you didn't install them yet I don't see why not.

I believe he was doing his best to share creditable info. The sensors didn't wk so he tried out this method. A lot of people were waiting for his results.

Positive, the module does not clear the right code.

greentrbo95gst · 08-17-2013, 01:00 PM

I am thinking of moving the o2 bungs further down the exhaust and using micro-cats from another source. Once everything is installed I will report back.

Powerbeast · 08-17-2013, 05:23 PM

There is nothing that will clear the check engine code ;(

We have no reported CELs from USDM models. The first installs go back to May 2013.

We'll keep you guys posted.

I had two different microcats with AMS downpipes and both still produce cel. Supersprint produced cel after about 30 miles of driving.

I purchased an Akrapovic Delete R before you posted here. I wont install it based on your experience. Thanks.

Malek@MRF · 08-26-2013, 10:23 AM

The micro-cats do not work well. It will still throw a code. Only solution is a tune.
