If its a simtek then I believe its pointing out that your engine is detting its little head off, i would refrain from being over enthusiastic with your car until you have fixed the exhaust.

might be worth acall to amapper to see if everything is ok,get some live data off the ecu to check the problem before disaster,better not to push your luck as youve had the warning with the cel light.
