yeah my exhaust is stock....yea that letter sounds like what I have.. Well i'm planning replacing my stock exhaust system with a Corsa catback. That should clear the fault right?? Will any damage occur by ignoring this code until i get my new exhaust??

Catbacks don't go anywhere near the cats. Get the cat replaced to get rid of the code.

If your cat is bad, then getting a catback exhaust won't do anything at all. You have to replace the cat. They make high flow ones, but I don't know anything about them.

If your cat is clogged, then it will hurt power. Otherwise, no harm.

However, might the code be generated by a bad O2 sensor in back? Not sure. I don't have cats.
