Default Installed LT Headers No Cats Check Engine

Hello. All help is appreciated. 2001 Camaro SS. Installed Hooker Comp Long Tubes. Have no cats. Check Engine Light is on. I have been told the simulators do not work a lot of times. Plus, Govt. made them illegal so no one has them. Other Mods K&N Air filter, SLP Air Lid Box & Bellow & SLP MAF. Also have Superchip Microtuner 2725. Have not re-tuned after mods. I do not think Tuner can adjust to lean or to thin. Looking for inexpensive solution. Tanks!

SES light isn't coming off cheaply. Most people get a real tune and have it tuned out instead of superchip microtuner lol. Also every word doesn't have to be capitalized, makes it hard to read.

Just get it tuned out by a shop with LS1edit or similar program. Actually it would be better do get it dyno'd and tuned all in one shot to get the most power of your new setup.

Get the code scanned that is the problem first. It may not be what you think it is!

If you have no cats you have no use for the AIR system so you might as well remove that before having someone tune the codes out.
