Default Engine light after exaust mainifold change

LS3 manifolds swapped out for Z06 manifolds, cats and H pipe at the end of last season, drove it home ok no light. Since starting up this season 3 months ago the engine light is on. Is this a quick fix or a tune is required?
Thanks

That's the next step, as the C6 doesn't show codes I'll have to take it to a shop toy find out.
