Helix Up-pipe CEL?

Hey guys, quick newb question. I'm about to install the up-pipe but have been hearing a lot about the cel I would get due to the egt sensor reading no cat....What can I do to fix this problem mechanically? Can I just get the same mechanical fix like the downpipe or do I need a resistor or just use the Cobb AP and it will automatically eliminate it? Thanks

P.S. I have a 2004 wrx.

I just installed a TiTek up pipe.. and it came with a bung for the stock EGT sensor.. I've been driving my car with no CEL for a couple weeks now. What brand is your up pipe?

the CobbAP STG2 map will rid you of the EGT cel.

DO NOT REINSTALL THE EGT PROBE, many have broken off & destroyed turbos.

Okay I see, do I still need something to plug the hole for the up-pipe though?
