To avoid
getting a check engine light:
To avoid getting a check engine light, you will need to re-route the bottom
O2 sensor to read after the second cat ( the one under the car.) You will need
to have the included 18mm o2 fitting welded on after the second cat by a muffler
shop or a competent welder, and you will also have to extend the wires of the
O2 sensor to reach the new fitting.
