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?

Just a FYI, I have a CA Celi and I DID throw a CEL when I put my header on. The CEL came back something along the lines of "catalytic converter failure". This is because the cat was gone. I have an OBD CEL reader so I just turned it off. It came back on I wanna say about 3 more times (spread about a month apart) then it just stopped. I've been going on at least a year with no CEL.
