I installed a set of 2M Fab catless long tube headers a while back.
It had a Steeda tune right away.
After a few miles I got the CEL to pop on. I checked the code and it was P2096, which is lean bank.
Contacted tuner and was advised to check for exhaust leak. Sure enough, there was a pretty good leak between the two O2 sensors. I got that patched up and it ran fine without CEL for a while.
A few weeks ago, CEL came on again, this time P0420 and P0430, which is O2 catalyst below performance threshold.
So I installed a set of the O2 sensor extensions. It drove better and mileage increased... untill the CEL came back on once again with the same P0420/0430 codes.
I contact Steeda and they respond...

Huh, I have not heard of those code coming back after the defoulers. The codes will not effect the performance at all, if it persists you may just have to clear it occasionally.
I wonder if anyone has had this issue and what they have done to fix it. I definitely don't feel like just resetting the CEL occasionally is something I need to do to have the headers on the car.
