Default Lots of codes.
I had my vette's exhaust done and they rung off some of the header connector bolts. The bolts were really stiff and rusty so they had to heat them with a torch to get them out.

Are there wires or anything that they may have melted around where the header connects to the pipes?

I am getting active handling light, traction control and 7 codes, some of them are brake switches and wheels sensors. Help appreciated.

Those are other problems but you'll get "Catalyst Efficiency" codes for SURE with no cats. Why pull the cats off anyway-it's kinda REDNECK. Pull the codes you have and post them, chances are some of your wiring got disturbed or melted with your exhaust mangling.

My vette has alot of miles and they smelled real bad on the interstate, so i figured they might be stopped up.

If i get the codes removed/unrecognized at a dealer or somewhere, will my abs system and active handling start to work again?

My cars been wrecked and the airbag light is on and i removed the smog mechanism thats throwing a code. I need these removed anyway.
