I reset the light myself!! The dealer told me to take the positive post off the battery for 20 minutes and it will reset itself!! He thought the computer will adjust to the new CAI , first I thought it did but, when I got on it the light came on for the second time!!

You need a new tune with a CAI. The computer can not keep up with the added airflow into the engine. Hopfully you are not running rich or lean, but you will need that tune. I think their is only one or two CAI that don't require a new tune. Also check to be sure you didn't disturb the O2 sensors when you changed the pipes over. This will also throw a code. Go to a carparts store and have the code read when the light is on. They will do it for free, and give you the code number.

You need a tuner for shutting the O2s off and also the intake.

I think the bbk cai is a no tune needed cai and your cel is a result of the corsa x-pipe installed. Any hi flo midpipe other than the stock h-pipe will trigger a cel for the rear o2 sensors. It seems the the only midpipe the rear o2 sensors like without tuning is the stock one.You need to have the rear o2 sensors turned off and your problems will be solved.
