• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Lamonster 1330 RTS Project begins!

Couple of questions on the bypass.

1) Would it void your extended warranty?

2) What about resale in Ca. where the CAT probably needs to be there to pass EPA? Do Spyders ever need to be smog checked on resale?

3) If you put the bypass in, can you put the CAT back in if needed later or is it cannibalized?

4) I thought the 2014's did not have heat issues and the CAT was moved? So I assume doing the bypass is for other reasons?

Have no idea on the warranty, sorry

This is like any other CAT bypass, none of them legal for street use that I know of, neither is changing any stock exhaust but people still do it.

There are no parts taken from the stock cat, it will bolt right back up.

There is no heat issues from the radiator like the early models. I did this more for the sound and the increased torque. The 2010-2012 cat bypass will help with heat issues.
 
Thanks Lamont for the answers.

One more.... does it effect engine tuning and possibly cause codes? I thought I saw a post a while back where a guy did it and then got lean codes or something?

I am interested in this. While I don't have a heat issue on my 2011 from a comfort point of view, I would like to get rid of the hot gas tank problem I do get on hot summer days.

If and when you have time I would enjoy

to see photos of the Spyder with the newly dipped parts reinstalled. I think that is a trend that will gain traction, especially on the black machines.-Thanks.
