I have the Buschur turbo back with high flow cat and bullet style muffler. My light came on after 200-300 miles. I reset it a few times with an OBDII tester but it still came back. I got the cel fix and it has been fine for a few thousand miles now.

yeah Testpipe, don;t waste money on elimators, just buy 2 spark plug anti-foulers drill one out with a 1/2" drilll bit and put it in the other one. Next screw the O2 sensor into the fouler the put the whole assembley into the O2 bung. the MIL should not iluminate again. this way this works is it prevents a large amount of exhaust gasses to flow past the o2 sensor, but still alows the pressure and enough so that a code doesn't set.

+1.
I think it will be the best $8 you'll spend to get rid of the CEL.

When I had my ultimate racing HFC, it threw a code.
I did the mechanical fix and no CEL.
