Cool Help! Installed new AP exhaust system...

Hey guys, I recently installed my new Agency Power exhaust system & midpipe..... any suggestions on how to handle the annoying CEL after installation of the AP midpipe?? i took off my CAT & installed the AP midpipe instead.. after awhile the CEL came on, and i HATE driving with it on.... I know it's from the O2 sensor [since I replaced my CAT with the AP midpipe] but is there any permanent way to get rid of that from the computer's ECU since I don't have a COBB access port...... will getting the car tuned get rid of it ? (if so, getting it tuned will most likely be my last option cause i don't feel like driving far to get it tuned) & BTW where is the closest place i take my rx8 to get tuned at I am in SAN DIEGO, CA...... suggestions PLEASE !!!

Tuning won't help.
Should've researched better.
Next time someone sells an AP, better jump on it!

as much as I researched, most ppl just drive with it on, or just re-installed their CAT.... & in some forums ppl just used a COBB access port which I don't have... just wondering if their were other options to solve it..... & what do u mean if someone sells an AP jump on it lol

A piece of black electrical tape. You won't even notice it.

Sometimes people will sell the Cobb AP on here becuase they have cracked up the car, or for one reason or another they are selling their RX8 and moving on. Best you can do is keep an eye out, or post a WTB(wanted to buy) ad on this site. There is at least one or two of those now though.
I wouldn't want it on either..........oh, and I've actually heard that some have gone away on their own. Some have returned later and some have not.....but most do.

Bullitt...........I was gonna say that on my first response..........but resisted!


And....I have no idea, but I just saw this posted in anither thread. Someone said go to http://www.mazdaspeedstore.com/mazda...-07-p-263.html ????? If going this route........research carefully!!!!

Yeah....I think it's sometimes "yes" and sometimes "no". I didn't click your link(s), but know what they probably say.

That link I posted has them for sale at $450.00
It's a lot to mask a CEL, but it does give you access(no pun intended) to a lot more.

That's what I use. I thought the tape might annoy me just as much, but it really doesn't.
