Don't feel gain with Test Pipe

I'll try to re-check the 02 sensor wiring again. (and reset the ECU) We were using a jack, and soldering under the car was kinda hard.
*We were testing it pretty hard 5-50 mph. No CEL. We shut off the car afterward, then i drove home, then on the freeway, boom CEL is on.

Regardless of what others say, you will always throw a CEL if you remove your cat and dont add a simulator. Pick up a couple foulers and do it the mechanical way. Ive used one for apprx 15k miles and have not thrown a code.
i've had my UR 3 inch test pipe for about a year. no cel light still to date. i felt, and heard a big difference wit hthe testpipe. its more of a sound thing i think. but still i felt the power abit more from that.

The UR peice comes with a mechanical fix built into the pipe. You do not need the simulator unless, as with this case, you still get a CEL. I would be willing to bet that this guy just needs to get the fouler fix. I would try that before wasting money on the sim.

Maybe you should go back and re-read what I wrote, genius. I made a blanket statement about removing the cat and adding a TP. If the UR piece comes with a built in mechanical simulator- same kind I advised getting and he's still getting a CEL than like you said, he should add a fouler.
By the way, why does this piece require cutting and soldering of the o2 wires? Sounds like poor engineering if you ask me.
The UR test pipe and some others that do come with a built-in cel fix require you to extend the o2 sensor a bit so it can reach it. Don't really know why they are built like that. I have the Perrin TP and I use two foulers and got no cell.

You're about as sharp as a marble
Besides having to extend wires and solder them is no different than having to splice in a sim.

There is no need for name calling in this thread. State your argument and leave it at that. Thanks.
