Default check engine light

If I put the BBK Full-lenght headers and the o/r x-pipe (without cats) would this make my check engine light turn on from the O2 sensor? If so is there a way to make it not come on?

Yes O/R Pipe makes Check Engine Light come on. Buy MIL Elimantors and you wont have this problem

yes. OR if you have a chip (Diablo Predaor, SCT) you can use that to turn off the rear 02 sensors.

Like a dyno tune? Idk if they can turn off the 02 sensors from a dyno tune i think it really depends on the software they use... Cheap solution would be MIL Eliminators
MILS - $59-$69
Handheld Tuner - $340-$410
Dyno Tune - $70+
