Default 2005 350Z CEL light on after high flow cats installed. HELP

Anyone know my options to fix the CEL? Will a tune be able to turn the 02's off? If so where can I get a tune done and anyone know about how much?

The Help! option is out of the question. Not interested.

Also who is a good local nissan shop in the Pinellas area?

youre pretty much stuck with the cel.
the code os probably for the downstream oxygen sensors, and since youve changed what they are reading, (the amount of oxygen in the exhaust) its going to set a dtc.

pretty much its going to compare what the front sensor sees, and compare it to the rear. since you changed the amount of flow, its going to read different.
why change the cats anyway? how much power do you really think youre making?

Its not me. Its a friend of mine. I drive a S197 and I have a O/R X pipe and tuned the 02's off. I am sure he would see a gain from from the cats.

get a o2 bung extension, it pulled the after cat sensors away from the flow, so they read less, and hence, no "holy shit you're running uber rich" Change Engine Lights...

or just pull the CEL bulb out of the cluster....

So he would need 2 of these since he has 4 02's He is getting a CEL for all 4 right now.
