for the small money difference of only a few hundred dollars buy the PI TC! I checked with people all over in the trans business and all of them told me that PI makes the best converters! do it once, and do it right!

So I'm guessing 2600 stall is the only one that never gets a CEL?

I've driven my car for about 800 miles since I've installed the TC and no CEL at all. Even if it did come on, the way the car drives I wouldn't care because it is worth it.

Off the line the car just goes with no hesitation at all. I have the SRT intake and the Borla exhaust so it's funny to see the look on peoples faces when I drive with them. They don't expect my car to sound or drive the way it does.
