Default Downpipe + O2 sensor

Hey guys, I was just wondering if I got a downpipe that gets rid of the cat, how do you make it so that the check engine light doesn't come on?

But sometimes the CEL wont come on depending on how clean your car is running

If I had your car in I would get everything 3 inches I believe you can do it from the turbo back. Replace your catback pipe with a 3 inch pipe, get rid of the cat with a 3inch straight pipe and work your way up. Correct me if im wrong but I'm pretty sure even if your runnin a 3 inch downpipe and your using a 2.5 inch catback it will just be like running with a 2.5 inch. Your smallest is what your car will use so just get 3inch pipes all the way. IMO

well I would but I already have a magnaflow cat back that is 2.5, I got it becuase I don't want it to be too loud and I know that research has shown that there aren't really any significant gains untill you are pushing about 400+ hp.
