Default Excessive fuel consumption in a ITR

My friend's ITR is using more fuel that it used to. He replaced the cat with a straight pipe and this always trips the CEL. Could this cause excessive fuel consumption? Thanks.

I heard this test pipes will increase fuel consumption on an ITR.

I forgot where I heard it and why it causes this. I'm no help +1

The car is not really driven hard on the streets. Only at the track.
