    Hey guys, new to this...

    So I just recently deleted both the secondary cats and put electric cutouts. Sounds sick, but it threw a CEL. Whats the best way to get rid of the light - best thing thats worked for you guys in this case?

    You might call Keith @dirtydeeds about this exhaust issue and dashboard lights on. He’s got some real-time data. Good luck

    Any luck with this? Same here. Didn't think it would be a problem as the sensors are before the rear cats..

    Removed mine too, welded stainless pipe in. Was just fine initially, happened to be leaving the dealer after an alignment shortly after I did it, CEL came on. Too coincidental so I went back. Driver side lean code. They blamed the cats being removed but had no basis other than it wasn't stock. Cleared the code, went home and found a pinhole in the weld closest to the sensor (didn't have the right shielding gas), welded it up and haven't had an issue since. If you're getting a lean code, make sure everything is completely sealed, if air is getting in it will read lean. If the cutouts are too close to the sensors that's exactly what's going on, assuming you're getting lean codes.
