Default Deleted cats...weird problem!
I changed my cats out the other day with straight pipes going to my y-pipe. I drove around for a couple of days before putting 02 sims on. My oil pressure reads lower now then it use too. It also seems to take longer to go into reverse. Its an auto.. could these things be related?

I can't think of any way the can be related... unless while you didnt have 02s it ran rich and burnt a little oil or something bizzare.... I would suggest changin the oil or at least making sure it is full... and unhooking your batt to reset your codes.

I wouldnt try to connect these issues... I know if i do a mod or somethng i am alwas checkin eve3rything and more aware of my car.... sometimes looking for something wrong...
