The Test Pipe has no catalytic converter. What happens is that the second 02 sensor won't read a correct temperature change and think that you've got a malfunctioning cat, it'll throw a check engine light, and you'll be up a creek. Test pipes are also going to fail any emissions test, so don't even try it if you have to get emissions....
Anyway, here's a thread regarding 02 simulators, or "defouler" as they call it.

Anyway, if you don't have KPRO or a simulator, you'll have a CEL code.

It cost me less than ten dollars to do everything myself, from a local auto parts store. I'm also running the megan test pipe and I love it!
