Default need help with y pipe

have owned an ls1 camaro for about three months now bought the car with high flow y pipe with cats not sure of brand have reciept from mechanic and flowmaster catback i can drive the car normally with no problems as soon as i get on it a few times the check engine light comes on looked up the code and it says the cats are bad is it because they are high flow cats or are the cats bad i know if you have no cats the light will come on im just wondering if its common with high flow cats to throw a code when u get on it.

Check the O2 sensors they can cause the codes to go on
