Nope. Drove around with it open for months at a time (until I went to LTs and ORY). If it's throwing a code you've got something else going on. BTW, this is with the cut out installed in the I-pipe under the rear seat pan.

I don't think the ses light could be related, unless your cutout is before the cats. Also, autozone will not scan your car in california. What a wonderful state.

Never had problems with mine throwing code. Maybe if the cut-out is place to close to the O2 sensor. Were is it welded in?

I have used the scanner from them a couple of times. But this state still sucks.

P0420 or P0430? Sounds like one of the cats are on the way out.

It shouldn't set off a code if it's in the I-pipe in the passenger rear seat area... there are no sensors past the 2 rear O2 sensors behind the cats I have my cutout uncapped for several months before I installed the headers and never saw a code with it.

that's what i figured. he said the code hasn't gone off since he recapped it. that doesn't make any sense
