Default H-pipe installed, but now check engine light

Installed h-pipe on '97 cobra, but now the check engine light is on. Am I stuck with it or is there a way to extinguish the light? Thanks for your help!

im sure its a catless h pipe therefore it turned on your rear O2 sensors. There are a few ways to get it off...first and the best is get a tuner and turn it off that way while at the same time gettin a tune on your car...or second get MIL eliminators which trick the light off but they ususally burn up after a few months....or just deal with the light lol
