^^^ Or do this after Holden have paid to have a new O2 sensor put in, that way you know this won't cause a problem in the near future.

No you don't need a tune (I ran mine for 18 months just with exhuast + filter and no tune with no problem)...the point I was making is that if it HAS HAD a tune, this sort of CEL is not uncommon...the O2 sensing parameters may need adjusting.

You will get bugger all gains from the exhaust filter, but a tune is not paramount like on the 06+'s

Welcome robs.mark. Nice choice on the white bugeye STI. I used to have one, very decent car if not the prettiest of the model range....

That was most likely meant to be exhaust AND filter.

Emission test? Did you get a yellow Matt?

Hopefully not! I've been away for a month.
However, if my car was yellowed, a few excess ozone destroying gases pumping out the arse end would be the least of my worries.
