Sorry man. Once you start playing with your emissions system you better be ready to pay the price. And if that CEL doesn't clear (and stay cleared) you are going to have to deal with the light and once a year, a month before your inspection, swap your stock cats back in and drive to allow your emissions to complete its check-out and then get your car inspected.

Now do you understand why I still have a stock exhaust?
Understood, but cat-back changes seem to be much less error-prone. Messing with the cats changes everything. Between the demon bolt and the O2 sensors, it's much more fuss.
