Secondary O2 sensor
I put in a high-flow cat on my 2.5'' piping, and I have not seen a check engine light yet, it has been over 4 weeks now. Anyone have any idea why it has not thrown a code yet?

Why, if there are no CELs the cat and o2 are in good condition, right?

Re: Secondary O2 sensor (Chiovnidca)
is it possible to have an O2 sensor that isnt functioning, but at the same time doenst throw a code? from what i hear everyone is bound to throw a code sooner or later. most sooner than later.

the main purpose of the secondary o2 is to monitor the exhaust after the cat making sure it is functioning (cat) properly. if the o2 or the cat are not working the way they should you WILL get a cel

Yes it's possible.
Hi-flow cat and no CEL? I don't see a problem there. What? You were expecting one? Well even if you don't have a CEL yet it doesn't mean the cat is fuctioning optimally. I have failed smog before with a Carsound but there were no CEL.
So not seeing a CEL is a good thing.
