Default Test pipe, cel, and electronic devices...the definative answer?

I've done a search and haven't been satisfied with the results.
I'd like to know definatively the following:
1. Check engine light: from what I've found, the light does NOT affect engine performance. True?
2. Electronic devices to turn off CEL: which ones actually work?
3. Has anyone actually measured any power gains from replacing the Cat w/ the test pipe?

the honda cat seems to be quite free flowing for a oem cat, nevertheless there should be some gains up top, most only a couple horses to be gained unless your forced induction or have some serious breathing mods done.

The 3 wire Casper's simulator did NOT work for my '02. I have a Lake Effect Performance simulator that I am going to try (eventually). The CEL does not effefct performance.

Matt,

Try the ECG simulator.
I would like to run the testpipe at the next dyno day. Will I lose bottom end torque with the testpipe? I don't need the extra top-end for street driving. Anyone with comments on the difference?

Gernby's Lake Effect simulator is made by ECG.
