Most 2022+ cars use updated tamper-proof downpipe hangers that make removing the rubber hanger difficult — an old-style hanger (OEM part 1K0253144AE) can be sourced from your preferred OEM parts retailer. Proper tuning software is required to clear the CEL that will occur — check with your tuner. Stage 2 software is required to avoid a check engine light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmissions disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product is not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled vehicles operated on public roads and is intended for off-road, race, or closed-course competition use only.
