well maybe b/c of your cat you were getting some kinof reading. i have no idea though. jack the car up and see if there is two sensors if so then get a defouler mod and your good to go.

few post up from this i wrote 2 places were you cna get one. and im not full sure how the warrenty works but if you have problems with the car they ahve to prove that the bolt ons caused the problem btu if you dont have a o2 sensor i would go back to who ever did your car ot installed the header.
