Please post the year of your car..=) and when you say exhaust...just the muffler? or Cat back? Headers? Ypipe?. And im assuming you put the stillen pop charger intake? How does your car feel? Normal? Loss of power? Could be as simple as closing your gas cap more-!

Its a 2000 and its a cat back exhaust.the 02 sensor is still in the little piece after the cat too. no y-pipe or headers and it is the stillen pop charger. car feels normal and a gain of power.

Okay lets do this, clear the Check Engine light by removing the negative cable overnight. And see if it comes back. Might just have had a slight initial issue with the Stillen Intake.

Hi,

I have the SES light (dim right?). As someone posted, it may not be a good idea to take off the cable from your battery if you still can have warranty work done on it. If you are able to take the light away simply by disconnecting from the battery, it may mask a problem that really exists. Then again, you have mods that will more than likely void your warranty.

Did you have the car ON but engine off? while installing your Stillen pop charger?, did you disconnect the wiring harness thats attached to your Intake?
