Post Check engine light after test pipe install?

I keep gettting a check engine light even after I put the spacer for the test pipe on. Any idea how to solve this problem b/c I don't want to keep clearing the code if it just comes back?

I used the spark plug non fouler (stacked 2 of the longer ones), and relocated it in the catback bung for more room. no CEL for me. I put my AFR sensor in the test pipe.

go to ams' online store and they have a cel fix you can buy....or go to speedelement.com...they all are pretty much the same....i bought mine from speed element....no cel on mine from my test pipe...there is also a way to delete the code for the rear o2 sensor....bunch of the evo owners in my area that are tech savy do it that way....either way works fine..pm me if you want details
