Default How to hook O2 sensors up to read right?

Straight piped my truck awhile ago and my check engine light finally come on. I know there's a few ways to hook them up to make the one after the cats read as it should. What's the easiest and best way to do this. Thanks

use resistors and capacitors to "trick" the computer by sending all good signal.

If you can find it I have posted an easy diagram in a similar question, I can't find the link I used (it was a jpg with resistor and capacitor #'s using radio shack parts) but what you are looking for is referred to as a mil eliminator. Google will lead you on the road you need, here is just a sample: http://members.tccoa.com/tinman/MIL/
