HKS exhaust for 1.5 swift(Experts on exhaust, pls help)

[BBsyah]

I am driving a suzuki swift 1.5 aka ZC21... I used to have installed a illegal aftermarket exhaust and suddenly my engine light had turn on.. I went to a WS and they said something is wrong and told me to change back to my stock exhaust.. I am also using a HKS open pod filter.. the mushroom type.. Question regarding HKS:

 

1) Will my engine light turn on after I installed this exhaust?

2) Will I lose power to my pick up? as i heard aftermarkey exhaust are heavier..

3) Will fuel consumption be affected?

 

Thanks to those who reply back.. gladly appreciate it!

I also fitted HKS Hi power exhausts[Cat back] on my 370z,K&N drop-in filters,no engine check light is on..maybe your Oxygen sensor is faulty.?

Most important, did you de-cat your exhaust? Normally decatted exhaust will get CEL on. It's quite common. Grab a scangauge and see what's the error.

Well that was what i tot initially.. went to a WS and the told me something had to do with my air filter and the other problem was the exhaust was a straight through.. somehow the air flow in and out of the car was not stable or smth like that..

1) No. Did you change your cat converter?

2) You will suffer the loss during low range.

3) Yes. Afterall, its a straight-thru.

catalytic converter (colloquially, "cat" or "catcon") is a device used to reduce the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine. A catalytic converter works by using a catalyst to stimulate a chemical reaction in which toxic by-products of combustion are converted to less-toxic substances
