its aftermarket because its only for off road use. you need a defouler to keep the CEL from comming back.

Rico, another prestigous memeber on this site once told me about a CEL eliminator which eliminated the CEL but if something were to go wrong for real it would come on.

Hit him up if you have more questions because I never looked into it because I didnt get the DC header because of unavalibilty.
