STEP 1
-purchase 2 spark plug anti foulers at your local auto parts store
-18 mm size
-made by HELP brand / part number 42002
-HELP has also another part number 42009 and are shorter in length than the 42002, i have heard they worked , but i am not 100 percent

STEP 2
-disconnect the negative terminal on your battery. this will reset your ecu
-take one of the anti foulers and drill out its center using a 1/2 bit ,
-this will increase its hole size and allow your stock o2 sensor to fit

STEP 3
-screw the drilled spark plug anti-fouler on top of the original
-be sure to use some kind of anti-seize on the treads. in case you need to remove your fix with ease


STEP 4
-unscrew your stock o2 sensor and place your cel / ses fix in
-use anti seize on the threads
-clean your cell (by wiping it off with a paper towel)



STEP 5
-reinstall your o2 sensor
-use anti seize on the threads

STEP 6
-reconnect your battery (your ecu is reset)
cheers

I have a Berk test pipe and I immediately get a CEL. I tried the spark-plug trick, but the O2 sensor doesn't fit. I guess it's just slightly wider than .5 inches. I'm starting to guess this is why the test-pipe itself doesn't eliminate the CEL. Is there a specific part# O2 sensor I should get, or any place I should get it?

the new oem sensor is more expensive than your de-cat/test pipe, almost all the aftermarket universal one will trigger a CEL.
i dont really get what you trying to say, of course the ecm will trip a code on you, the sensor is getting "the cat is completely not working" signal, therefore it trips the ecm to give you a cel

Not sure where confusion is...right now I have an after market universal O2 sensor installed in my Berk test pipe, which is supposed to have the CEL fix built in. Nevertheless the CEL still comes on, almost immediately.
Are you saying that CEL comes on because it's a universal sensor? If so, which sensor must I get for the CEL to not trip? I was trying to avoid getting the OEM sensor for obvious... reasons....
