Long story short, I installed catted longtubes and got a cel which was unexpected.
I ran the cel, and looks like it’s with bank2/sensor2. My first thought was that I f$;ked up the sensor when removing trying to hold the h pipe up while undoing the connections, but then read about the heaters not getting up to temp due to being back further in the stream now.
Im gonna get it back in the air to see if I melted anything, but thought I had them tucked up. The fact it’s just the one sensor makes me think I screwed up the heater wire, but it did show temp, just about 100* lower than the driver side.
Long story short, trying to determine if it makes sense to troubleshoot if the heaters are going to be a common issue, or just tune the back sensors off.
Longtubes even catted without a tune will toss CELs, but being that it's only one CEL I'd agree with possibly a melted wire. I see melted o2 wires come in all the time with headers when they don't get moved and secured out of the way.

I thought I tucked them good, but I gotta get it back on the lift and see. It came on within a few mins of idling for the first time. I’m thinking damaged the wires. When I dropped the H pipe I was fiddling with trying to hold the pipe up and get the sensors off, so they got a little taught for my liking
If I had known I was still going to get the burble and cel from high flow cats, I would have just gone off-road pipe
