HELP!!!!!!! Check Engine Soon light came on!!

Ok, i so just got my exhaust installed yesterday morning, went to work and back with no problems. But i was just coming from work right now and the CHECK ENGINE SOON light came on!!!

You need one of these for the O2 sensor.

yes, look at the picture above, notice how the O2 sensor is not directly connected to the exhaust, see the the adapter in place? you can purchase one of those from vendors on this forum to fix your problem.

buy a cel fix. its an extension that puts the o2 farther from the cat then go to auto zone to remove the code.
