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.

do you have it installed before cats? if so...you'll probably get acode for the cat below efficiantcy(sp) but if its after the cats..diff problem...got get you car scanned..autozone does it for free

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.

if it's right before the axle how does it effect any sensor readings?

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
