Ive got the CEL light always on due to the exhaust. Is there anyway to just take out the blub some how or to cut the wire?

You'd have to remove the LED from the speedo / tach circuit board. That means you would have to remove the needles and re-set them when re-assembling. Alot of work.

I don't think you want to do that. What happens if/when you have a real problem and you have no indication that something's wrong?

I've never heard of anybody getting a CEL just from "exhaust". If you are, then it sounds like you have a problem.

I think you need emission testing in New York. When they plug into your OBDll port, they will know the light has been removed and you will surely fail the inspection. I bought a Mazda Miata a couple years ago and one of the first things I looked at was the CEL. It was off so I assumed everything was ok.
When I went for the inspection, I failed because the catalytic converter was missing and the light had been "tampered with". The dealer had to install a cat and replace the light. Once these had been fixed, the car passed without a problem.

Therefore, I wouldn't suggest tampering with the light. Get your problem fixed and the light will go off.

You can get an ECU reflash to emilinate the light, but it's going to be expensive.

best bet, and the safest, is figuring out what is causing the light, and rectifying it

if it's caused by your test pipes, or high flow cats, then get the proper 02 spacers in there
