Default reset engine management light?

I recently put a milltek exhaust system on my bugeye with de-cat, which threw up the engine management light. How would i reset it so it goes away? Thinking of putting a sports cell cat on it so I would like it off.

Thanks

If you know why, it's not a problem, a sports cat won't help, you need a "CEL fix" or a re-map to sort it properly.

Mine was on for months till I got mine re-mapped.

I read somewhere if you turn the ignition on and off 10 times quickly it will reset the CEL. Don't now if this actually works as I've never tried it.

BUT as Dunx says its on for a reason and so it'll come back on again until you get the mapping sorted for the exhaust.
