Default New x pipe = check engine light

Installed a Bassani x pipe and BBK ceramic headers about 3 weeks ago. Now, from time to time, the check engine light comes on and stays on. I have seen MIL Eliminators for other years to cancel this problem after install of an off road h or x pipe. Does anybody know where I can find this part for a 95 GT? or is there another fix that is out there? Any feedback is appreciated.

Default RE: New x pipe = check engine light

MIL eliminators are for OBD-II systems that use a set of downstream sensors after the cat-con's, these set of O2 sensors don't affect the load tables for the EEC system, they simply check cat-con's "efficiency, and do not apply to your OBD-I application....'94-'95 5.0L are still EEC-IV and do not have the extra set of O2 sensors after the cat-con.

You would have to run a set of DIY KOEO/KOER self-tests to check what the EEC-IV system is logging as failure codes, and id and correct what is causing them. My
