Question on downpipe/exhaust install

Hey guys so i installed a kakimoto 1.0g titanium exhaust with a kakimoto downpipe. After the install i didn't get any cel at all. My concern is now the check engine light is on and the cruise control light flickers. I'm guessing the car finally realizes that there's no more cat. My question is what have some of you done to fix this problem. any help is greatly appreciated.

Wonder if ill hit the same issues. Im going to be installing a Helix Catted 200cel Down pipe w/ a HKS Ti Carbon CBE System in the next couple of days. I hope to reflash (EcuTek) after the installation. I guess my question is, with the catted Down pipe and a CBE system, should i be worried about possible CEL due to larger flow of exaust? Also with my application should i purchase the Helix CEL Fix/Bypass? Boost creep shouldent be an issue with this set up (im assuming) because im not deleting any cats.

still there

hey you guys know exactly how to turn off the cel light? I'm looking through the fuse box and can't seem to find it. I'm a newby with these subys and just want to ask people that are more experienced.

I installed the bung but still the cel remains. I also realize that my cruise control light is flashing. I tried to use the cruise control and realize that it's not working? I doubt i should be worried about this. But any of you guys know how to turn this light off too? thanks again!
