Default hogan downpipe

I just recieved my 3" down pipe with highflow cat from hogan performance. I was told when I ordered it that a couple of people have gotten check engine lights after installing this. My question is, should I go ahead and install now, or should I wait a week until my hp tuner is here? I'm supposed to go drag racing friday and don't really want to be throwing codes up there. If I do install it before I get my hp tuner and I get a code, how do I go about clearing it?

I would wait until you get the tuner. . . that way you can dial everything in. . .even at the track. Try some stuff out. . .see what happens.

So there is nothing wrong with installing now and waiting for the hp? It's not going to effect performance or anything if it does throw a code?

Yep, with a CEL code the remote start is disabled, makes sense; if there is something wrong with the car, would you want it running unattended?

Got the pipe put on today. No codes yet!! Sounds a lil louder, and maybe feels a little different. Not quite sure. I'll have to get it to the track again and see what it'll do.
