Thumbs up I wonder what happend?

When i had 2500 miles on my car i've put downpipe on my car with no cat and since then i had my check engine light on all the time right now i have 14k on my car and 2 days ago i participated in autox event, after 2nd run my check engine light was gone. I made almost 200 miles since autox and my check engine light still is off. I'm kind of suprised and happy because of that but i just want to know what happend and how come i had it on for almost 12k miles and now it's gone

Just get a Perrin 02 simulator, it costs $70-80 and it takes about 30 minutes to install. That's what I did the second day I put the cat delete pipe.
