Guest TWIST'DGRIP Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have just purchased a set of 2bros for my 2003. Now do I need to run a PCIII or can I just bolt on the pipes and enjoy the sound? I'm trying to avoid the additional cost. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda leans it out in spots to help meet emissions requirements and it can lead to some dead zones and surging for some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some aftermarket exhausts apparently don't necessitate re-mapping, but IMO the PCIII - and oxygen sensor eliminators - are worth the investment. My 2004's surging and VTEC transitions were never bad but I bought a PCIII and O2 eliminators during a group buy 2 years ago. I wasn't sure I'd ever install them, but when I finally did last summer the bike ran smoother than ever. (BTW, I'm still running the stock cans, ungutted.)
