Default test pipe

So I bought a invidia test pipe and installed it a couple of hours ago and then test drove it and then the check engine light turned on. Wat could be the problem?

That is expected with the Invidia test pipe, as it does not come with a "anti-CEL" fix. You need to do the following.

To fix a CEL is really simple....

Step 1: Go to autozone (or whoever you like i dont care)
Step 2: By 1 pair of defoulers in the HELP! section (i forget size, but I think it was 18?)
Step 3:Get 1 of the defouler's and with a 1' drill bit, drill out the whole in it.
Step 4: Screw them together
Step 5: Screw this in your test pipe where your O2 sensor goes
Step 6: Reset CEL (let battery drain yada yada, or while your at autozone or wherever rent there code reader and delete it with that, its free)

or try the extender that your o2 sensor plugs into, u'll probably need 2 of them but I wouldnt worry about the check light. The o2 sensor in your header is the one that determines fuel ratio, the one in the test pipe does nothing

The second O2 sensor checks that the CAT is functioning properly
