test pipe/check engine light

i have a turboxs test pipe and my check engine light has been on im just curious is my car wont be running properly because i've heard that when you install a test pipe that the light will come on but that your car wont perform properly so i was wondering if that is the case with rx8's someone also mentioned that if i changed the o2 sensor that it should take care of the check engine light

If you heard that with a test pipe "your car wont perform properly", why did you do it?
To what would you change your O2 sensor?

Wow...

I just found out that punctuation is apparently one of those things that you never really appreciate until it's gone. Literally, that was uncomfortable to read...

"Normal" isn't quite tha adjective I'd use.
"Expected" is more like it.

That said, there are plenty of us running around out there with no CAT and no CEL.
Its magic.
