Default Engine light

has anyone had any problems with their engine light coming on after removing the cats? I installed an after market Y-Pipe that did away with the cats and also installed O2 Sims and still have to constantly reset the computer due to the oxygen sensors readings.

If the check engine light keeps coming on the O2 simulators must be bad. Or you messed up one of the O2 sensors when you were changing exhaust.

it is Bank 2 Sensor1 that I keep getting codes on, which is the one before the O2 Sim. I have already replaced it twice and still keep getting a code on it.

The problem with those simulators is they sometimes cannot keep from setting off the engine light. It all depends on the company.
