come on you can find the answer to this with about 5 min of searching.

You have a bunch of options, you can turn the CEL of using ECU Flash

In my opnion the best way to do it is use spark plug non foulers. Search that and you will dinf your answer.

1st search for it, so you dont get flamed. 2nd the spark plug non foulers trick is an easy fix. Just go to autozone pick up the 18mm spark plug non foulers, ($4.00) drill out one so your o2 will screw in then install... if you search you can get pics and all the info with pics good luck fng!!!

spark plug anti-foulers are the way to go. $3 for 2 at autozone.

Does your new Tanabe exhaust have the needed bungs for all the O2 sensors? If it doesn't and you left an O2 sensor out/unplugged, that is surely why your throwing a CEL. To fix the problem all you need to do is get an O2 simulator.
