It shouldn't give you a CEL on a 95... must be something with the new O2.

it will always set off the check engine light b/c you dont have a cat. it is just your exhaust going straight through w/out being "cleaned" in the cat. you will not pass emissions with this on (if you didn't already know)

OBD1 cars, like the 94-95 integras, have only 1 oxygen sensor, which is placed before the cat. The car doesn't sense what occurs after that in any way.

it has to be the o2 sensor because it wouldn't give you a cel for just a testpipe.
