Go to an auto parts store and buy another one. Pretty simple fix. Or go and buy a weld in O-2 bung for the straight pipe. Mr. Gasket and Moroso both offer them.

Your car will run the same with or without the CEL for the secondary O2 sensor.

true, but if something else causes a CEL, the CEL will all ready be on and you'll not know.
and there's the whole emissions thing...

That's entirely correct.

I didn't mean to seem as if I was recommending that he just leave it the way it is. I was just pointing out that he mentioned wanting his car to "run better", which wouldn't be influenced by the secondary O2.
