    Hey, I recently installed my HFC on my 2013 b8.5 A4 and get the normal check engine light, so I was gonna buy a spacer, just not sure what size or angle might work best, so any suggestions help. And I am stage one tuned APR, and since they discontinued stage 2 I can’t get the tune to rid the code.

    What cell count cat do you have? The cell count supposedly plays a role how well the spacer will work. If you do end up trying SNice's method, post back with your results. I plan to try his when the time comes as well.

    I purchased the 200 cells high flow cat from cts turbo. I had a shop put in a custom straight piped down-pipe for me the high flow is connected to.

    I ordered a 250 cell cat and was hoping (maybe erroneously so) that I wouldn't get a CEL with a stock tune, cross fingers :) :P

    I have a 300 cell 034 motorsports HFC and I still used to get the code before I tuned it out. Seems that with certain spacers you will get the slow response code, and with no spacers you get the efficiency code. Only one I had any luck with was the mini-cat spacer, until the amazon one I had fell apart. lol
