Off Road H Pipe and Check Engine Light

[DMacRacer]

If I install an Off Road H Pipe, will I have problems with the Check Engine light? If so how do I get rid of the light?

You shouldnt, but that doesnt mean you wont, When I put mine on it threw the CE Light, I just replaced the O2's and it went away, but most dont have any problems.

I can pretty much gaurantee that the O2 sensors are casue it. Check them for loose connections and the like.

I never got a light from installing mine...
you can get rid of the CE light permanently, just remove the bulb hahaha...

I didn't get a check engine light on my car after installing my offroad H either, just that sweet 5.0 sound.

96 and up mustangs will get check engine lights because they have a second set of 02 sensors at the back that are there to make sure that the catalitic converters are doing their job. If they are not or if they are gone(o/r x pipe) they will cause a check engine light. Us 95s are (thank god) OBD I which means we only have one set of 02 sensors before the cats that are for closed loop driving. SO we dont have to worry. Any check engine lights on our cars would only be caused by a messed up sensor.

All correct. Generally an O2 CEL after an O/R install is because the sensor was banged up during the R/R.

I replaced my O2s twice after my h-pipe install and I still have the CE light from time to time.. no biggie tough.

Thanks for the response. I'll give it a try and install it.
