SES Light after Header Install... I had my QTP headers and catted y installed a few weeks ago. My SES light was on after the install b/c there were no 02 bungs in the rear. I was told that if i put 02 sims in the rear that the SES light would go off. Well today, I had the 02 sims installed and the light is still on. Do I have to disconnect the battery or anything for it to go off? Thanks!
Yes, disconnect the battery overnight and the SES light will be off. Or I think if you just keep driving it, the SES light will go away on it's own. If it doesn't, you still have a problem.

Excuse my IGNORANCE, but im still confused. I'm going to have Kook's LT's and their catted Y installed in a few days. I was told all I need is o2 extensions. I won't get an SES light will I? Again, don't flame me, im just trying to understand.

o2 extensions allow you to plug your front o2 up (the ones in the header) because they are now farther away due to long tubes. YOu need these hooked up because they are the sensors that tell your pcm your a/f ratio. the rear o2 are behind the cats and only tell the pcm if your cats are working. they can be edited out or put a pair of sims in there

o2 extensions are for the front o2 sensors, with LT's the o2 bung is now moved to far down and the o2's arent long enough to reach the connector. extensions "extend" the o2 sensor to be able to connect to the pin setup.
i covered all this in the exhaust guide

Ahhh fvck, I just read your exhaust guide. I have emissions style LT's and im keeping the AIR(2002), so now I have to do the "air check valve " mod. 
I thought thats the point of ordering emission style LT's, so everything will just hook up without any modifying???

say your ses light comes on because !AIR or no cats, or !EGR, and you want to have the code edited out. when they get rid of the code for !AIR or !EGR or no cats, will the light still come on for other things? or is the code edited out all together.
