Leave to hose open (venting) that goes to the cat from the smog pump. Do NOT unplug the smog pump and you'll be fine. Check engine light will only come on if you unplug the smog pump.

Doesn't the check engine light have more to do with electrical problems?

It's a huge difference in loudness. My car was perfect before the straight mp, you could barely notice that I had an aftermarket cb. After the mp, you can hear me down the street at idle. I think it's louder then a 2 stroke dirtbike now. A resonated mp will be just a tad louder then the stock cat.

When I add a DP to my exhaust with just a catback, will it sound louder?
And if it does will it sound a lot louder?
thank you,
