I have the B&B and I can confirm that it throws a CEL.

The first step would be to call up Doc Brown and borrow his time machine, go back a few weeks, and tell your previous self to do some research before modding your car.

Sorry, I'm fully aware that wasn't helpful whatsoever....but it had to be said.

Nope, nothing you can do. That is why people get the hi-flow cat unit, instead of the test pipe unit. You can nothing to get rid of the CEL, & the smell (not to mention the ridiculously loud sound).
