cel still on!!

ok dont know if anyone is familar with the speedcircuit test pipe but it has a lil welded on bung piece so it doesnt get the CEL well after about 20 miles the CEL came on.. so my question is why is the CEL coming on?? i have a defouler! what if i add a $5 autozone defouler will that help or will it come back on cuz the o2 sensor is to far away. i dont know what to do!! any suggestions would help! the pic is what the test pipe looks like.. and u can tell the special welded bung!

Connect the AP and check the code, you can also clear the code from the AP.

check the code and clear it if it is nothing big. cobb disabled a lot of codes when they made their tunes.

What map are you running? Cobb disables the code for Stage 2 type maps.

there is no way of using the test pipe as the only mod and not throw the code. If you have an intake, TBE, you could run stage 2 and not get the CEL.
