header throwing check engine light? Options

[4-eyed-freek]

i really want to buy an ebay header, but i dont want it to make my check engine light come on. is there a way around this besides removing the negative batery every few days?

how is that when you will still be able to put back the O2 sensor? That will happen if you don't bolt it back. Basically engine light checks comeon because sensors see something wrong or its defective. just put back the O2 sensor and you'll be ok. the ebay header and your stock is virtually the same thing, they push out exhaust air through pipes. the ebay header is just more straightflow.

I'll tell you the truth, my engine light did come on after I put on the headers but it was after how many days but when I did an OBD check it was the EGR. i cleaned the little EGR module filter and since then I've never seen it come back on. but it was not O2 sensor related, there is a direct code for that. Many people have this header though no real complaints if you know what I mean, its not like its one of the first things you need to get for the celi.
