Invidia midpipe + CEL = :(
got my invidia midpipe installed yesterday and got a CEL after about 15 miles of driving. I have 2 guesses right now;
1) it's leaking since i re used all gaskets (both front flanges and rear donut) or
2) the o2 sensor is failing and I need a defouler(?) for it
did some research on this and some people say the o2 sensor always throws a CEL and others say it should never for an invidia midpipe. Going to read the codes at a shop this coming week and let you guys know - any ideas for now? anyone with experience with this?

The rear donut gasket is reusable, the front 2 are not, if it's leaking you will get a lean code, fix the exhaust leak with dealer parts, not too much money at all, clear the codes and see if they pop up, if they do then one of your o2 sensors either was twisted and broke a wire or damaged from the job.

craziest thing happened, i filled up gas last night and the check vsc and everything on my dash disappeared..? do the codes get "stored" after some time? also im loving the midpipe so much i think I'm going to write up a review on it
