Default Check Engine Light

Just installed Kooks Headers- XPipe- and SLP Exhaust on my C6 this last Friday night and on first run into work about 35 Miles the check engine light in dash came on. Had the car running Sat and Sunday with no problems and now the light is on. When installing everything I was sure to unclip 02 sensor before removing from old system and install before clipping up so as to not break the wires. Is it a possibility that since I went from the front to rear complete exhaust I have to get the car re-tuned.

Anybody else run into this?

You will need it retuned.

Thanks, for the reply and I thought that was what I was going to have to do. I am going to Carlisle this coming weekend does anyone know of a good tuner that is going to be there that I can call and schedule time with. I only live about 40 minutes from the event in Northern Virginia. If not anyone know of someone around me? I guess before I have it tuned I need to put the Callaway Honker on also.

I have the same problem from my LG long tube headers.

Check engine said something like low flow catalytic bank 1 and 2

Im running racing cats but I guess the rear sensor doesnt sense a difference in reading hence the code! Power seems to be full on!

There is no doubt that you will need to have the car tuned! I would suggest you consider what else you're going to do before it's retuned. I would suggest that you consider a CAI or at least air filters that will allow the engine to breath easier.
