I'm not sure, but do you think you could post a clip of your exhaust? I'm thinking about the Remus, but haven't heard the B&B. Other than the fact that it might have caused the service light, what do you think of your exhaust?

Sorry that I answered your question with a question

Did they crimp the tube that runs to the actuator on the factory exhaust secondary? If not, that's probably your problem.

The exhaust should be no problem--at least mine wasn't. I don't remember anything in the instructions about crimping. But, there is a little tube that actuates the "second" stock exhaust pipe. All my dealer did was tie it off to the side--I think. At least there was no problem in reconnecting it when I went back to stock.

Instead of crimping, put a golf tee in the rubber extension. That keeps the vacuum pressure on the line and OBC accepts it as normal.
