If I install a test pipe do I have to worry about it throwing faults or affecting my oxygen sensors? If so. how do I fix them?

If you have an O2 behind the cat, yes. You can buy a simulator to wire into that O2, and that will usually stop the CEL from coming on.

Honestly, it's not worth the aggravation of putting a test pipe on. You're only going to gain 1-3 hp at most, but the worst part about it is when you rev it, it's gonna pop when the rpm's drop like the civic fart cans that are ricin around every 2 seconds. I know you don't want that for your rep or for the max's rep!
