Yes... the Agency Power (and any other) mid-pipe/straight pipe will generate a CEL.
You are removing an emission device... which is why you will see a CEL.
Only way to eliminate the CEL with a mid-pipe is to purchase a Cobb AccessPORT.

yes you will get a CEL, some of us have experience different tho, but only for a little bit, its bound to come back on...i threw my midpipe on, the CEL came on right away, it was on for 3 months then went off for 6 then came back on and has stayed on since then

It's been about two months since I installed the Racing Beat dual resonated midpipe and have NOT gotten a CEL. I have an early build RX-8 ( 5/2003 ) if yours is also an early build you also might be ok. Either way its not something to get scared over its just a light. It could also have something to do with where the O2 sensor is placed in the midpipe? On the RB it is further 'downstream' than on the OEM CAT, just a guess.

So you just wrap the midpipe with electrical tape and that prevents the CEL? I kid, I kid!
