02 sim welded? I have a Berk test pipe and you should not be using a simulator. Off of the actual pipe there is a smaller pipe where you should have your actual 02 sensor screwed in. This allows the exhaust fumes to travel below the 02 sensor, thus no cells are thrown.

Make sure what code is present before attempting to fix the wrong thing.
But for a standard P4 code, you can add another O2 anti-fouler to decrease CEL frequency... but you might want to check your plugs are the appropriate temp rating and that your FPR is not super rich.
I still can throw a CEL occasionally if I'm crawling along at low revs. I bought a code scanner from Ebay for $20 and just check and reset the CELs as needed.

My Berk TP is throwing a CEL aswell... but this is because 06's have a more sensitive 02 sensor (from what ive heard).
Im just going to add one anti-fouler to it .

NOTE: is it safe? i'm not sure what the 2nd o2 is actually for... but in simple terms i was told it just checks to see if the primary o2 is working...
