You don't have a malfunction indicator lamp yet? That's funny, everybody has that lamp on their vehicle. And why are you refering to it as plural? There is only one MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp.)

Oh.. maybe you mean MIL ** ELIMINATORS **

I've had an offroad midpipe without MIL Eliminators for almost a month now. I've driven over 2,700 miles and still no MIL. I didn't turn them off with a tuner or chip either. *shrug*

No it doesn't effect your engine or computer,you'll just never know if something is really wrong sence your light is already on.
