I have the DCRH but I didnt get a CEL. if you plugged your O2 sensor directly onto the header than that is probably why it came on. What I did and I know several other people on here have done to prevent that is they buy a piece from autozone thats a dollar or 2 at most that basicly extends that spot where the sensor screws in thus pulling the sensor out of the direct exhaust flow and keeping that light from coming on.

First off..cool another person in the big state of TX,I'm stationed in Killeen...anyways...did you do both of the sensors or just the one after were the cat would be?I ask because I did the after cat one only and still had a cel come on after about 250-300 miles.

i just did the one after the "cat" spot and Ive been good for quite some time now and quite a lot of mileage. maybe the spacer you used is not enough. maybe you need a larger spacer.
