Default check engine light

on monday ecs installed my lgm street series headers on my ae o3 vert. the guys at ecs were great and im happy with the numbers i got on the dyno 335rwhp/347rwtq. coming home to pa i thought i could hear some exhaust leaks from underneath the car. i had band clamps to install with the lgms because i heard they do leak but the guys at ecs didnt think i need them. when i stopped for gas and then turned the car back on the check engine light came on. could this come from the o2 sensors if there is exhaust leaks or any other ideas? thanx brad

Not likely unless you have a REAL bad leak. Probably more likely do to tune, or lack of. Check your codes, write them down, post them, clear them, drive some more and see if you get any codes again. Click here for info on checking and clearing codes.

On a longer drive that'll pop up, had the same problem with my Headers prior to a Tune. I Had the COT (Cat Overtemp) desensitized as well...
