I never did with mine... usually it's the 06+ cars that see a CEL even with the CEL fix, it is just hit or miss sometimes though with test pipes. If you have the CEL fix installed correctly, you shouldn't be throwing a check engine light. Try reseting the ecu.

When I had my invidia on it didn't throw a CEL, after switching over to a berk, my CEL came on. After a CEL light fix and ECU reset it still stayed on. I gave up and kept driving my s2k, on the sixth day my CEL just dissapeared and havn't given me any problems since. Reset the ECU, give it a few days and cross your fingers. Good Luck

Driving with the CEL light should be OK, the only thing I can guess of as far as getting hurt would be the environment. Its only a metal pipe, alot of ppl drive with the CEL light on, then when the government ####s us over(inspection, tax)we switch it back to stock, then vice versa afterwards.
