How to get check engine light off after test pipe install?
What do I do with the 02 sensor to get the check engine light off so that it will still come on if another engine problem arises. Thanks in advance.

as long as the 2 sensors pick up different reading s it shouldnt throw a code..so..some suggestions have been..wrap second 02 in tin foil and reinstall( has to be redone after awhile because tin will be burned off..another suggestion was to leave it out and plug the hole..im sure there are plenty more

One of the nice things about the Mugen computer is that it doesn't seem to check for or throw codes,
which in hindsight could be a bad thing if something is REALLY going wrong. Ask me how I know.

i heard if you put a 10k ohm resister in the signal wire, it will stop thowing a code. I have never done it, that is just what i heard.

I have a Godspeed testpipe ... right after I installed it, I had a check engine light. Just unplug the battery for a few seconds and the light will go off. Mine came on again after about 60 miles of hard track use ... kinda freaked me out at first, but I just reset the battery again.

I have the Godspeed test pipe as well....It has the 02 Sensor bung welded on it with pieces of a cat inside the bung
which keeps the check engine light off when you plug the 02 sensor in it. I put my 02 sensor in the bung and have had
no check engine lights since!

I HAD a godspeed test pipe 
also, but got rid of it because the fitment was really bad, requiring you to look for longer bolts that went in crooked. Mines had small leaks in it, so I cut off the section with the catalyst inside and had it welded to a Spoon Sports Cat Jack pipe. Fitment is perfect with no leaks, plus you could reuse the factory hardware.

Dan: any chance of trading in the old one for a new one?
Mine does not throw codes(yet) and it does not fit perfect. But for the short time I use it (on the track) its fine. Only slight leaks, buit thats only with restriction like a B-Pipe, when the testpipe is in, the exhaust is off.
