do a search on mechanical cel fix for your test pipe. it costs 2 dollars and takes 30 mins, no cel, no problem

well, you'll have to get the code pulled prolly but it should be related to the o2 sensor.
I remember on my 03 i had to make up a special piece to distance the o2 sensor from the bung and the cel's stopped popping up.

You said you got a resonated TEST PIPE.

Test pipes remove the cat so you should be getting a catalytic converter below threshold code

It is probably the fact you have no cat and are getting the cat efficiency below threshold.

Either search for and install the mechanical CEL fix or call Works and let them do it.

Also not to be ***** but... Search. Things like this are basic and have been covered in great detail at great length already.

The mechanical CEL fix works great. Search for it and you will have your answer.
