Default Engine light came on after LPP headers installed

Well peeps, I went for a test drive and holy ****... what a difference. Everything seems to be working great. I went for a 60 mile drive in the city, and in the last 3 miles, the truck's engine light came on. nothing seems out of the ordinary. Would this perhaps be because the engine is out of tune? Or perhaps because I removed both rear 02 sensors?

lol..what? So I was told that removing both rear 02 sensors was OK as long as the two front were still in and tuned later. So, how can I tune the rear sensors off? With a tune?

Of course removing the rear 02 sensors will throw a code.

You have to turn off the code when you get it tuned. You really shouldve searched the forum before asking a question like that....

Ok, my bad. Guess my next step is to do research on tuning. And yes, really good. Despite still having the factory exhaust past the Y, awesome sound, awesome power. Nothing seems to be causing any trouble so far.

actually... I'm going to do a write up this week with some pics about the installation itself. That way you can see and have an idea of what it looks like. But all in all, what can I say... they fit, they sound good and they're stainless steel. Only thing is if you're planning on making a true dual exhaust, don't both with the Y-pipe I suppose.
