If u r asking about the cel triggered by cat delete, then a cheaper alternative would be akra delete-r.

remove the light in the cluster.. an old school trick on OBD I cars.

Why anyone would ever do it is beyond me. I think 100% functionality of the CEL (other than for cat efficiency) is a must.

The best way is of course to have it turned off with a tune or the Delete-R like Mike mentioned above.
