Default Check engine light with Spoon exhaust

I changed my exhaust two months ago. I reset the ECU many times and the light will still come one. Took it to the dealer and they also couldn't solve the problem. Is there any way to turn off the light?

Unless you are running with the straight pipe and the Spoon, there is no reason for a CEL.

That is your problem then, the straight pipe will always give a CEL. There are ways to modify the straight pipe to move the sensor higher out of the way of the hot gases. Do a check on here or put the stock cat back on, the straight pipe isn't worth the CEL.

You can solve the problem by wrapping the o2 sensor with foil but when it burns off, you have to replace it again.

I recommend just running the straight pipe on the track only. I would like my kids to be able to breathe.
