Is it still on, or did it turn off?

The MIL can turn on for several reasons. If its still turned out, would be best you take it to your closest Honda mechanic and get them to check what the problem is.

i took it to the honda dealer/mechanic today and i also got the code as well which is related to the catalyze senors.

have you changed ur exhaust/headers?

how many kms have u done?

[DC5er]

yes it been replace to a toda header and 5zigen exhaust. so you are right it has something to do with the header without a catalyze that is why the MIL come on.
the car is only done 308XXkms. so now am thinking of selling my toda headers and put the stock one back on.

What you've experienced is normal.

You can either ignore the light and kill the environment, or if you want to go green, squeeze in a hi-flow cat.

However, the o2 sensors will most likely still think the cat is not working as it's flowing too well and hence still throw the CEL.

That was the case in my car anyway.

so you are not running any cat at all?
dont get caught

did the honda guy give you the error code?

if u are getting a CEL due to the headers, i wouldnt just go sell it. it is normal for after market headers to do that. from what i've researched, to get rid of it you can either get a o2 sensor defouler to simulate the cat. or you can get a hondata kpro and disable the secondary o2 sensor after you have tuned ur car.

that is assuming its the secondary o2 sensor causing the CEL.

im having a o2 sensor defouler made up over the next week or so. i'll do a write up on it once its done and see if that works.
