Default Facing a little problem

Hey guys,
i have a `01 bonestock.. but i took off the catalyzers... to give me extra 10hps on the wheel.. after i did that in a week, got the(check engine soon) sign in the dashboard. so i went to the garage, did some computer check and removed it, but after couple of days i got it back.
one of my friends said its the exhaust sensors, does that sound familiar?
besides, im running on an auto trans i want to change into manual, do you guys recommend this ?
last question, what exhaust system you recommend the most? im kinda getting into the flowmaster H-pipe.. what do you think?

those sensors are the o2 sensors...you need some o2 eliminators (like 40 bucks at perforamnce shop)

i wouldnt recomment changing the trans to manual...they suck for DD and automatic has much more potential, also you will turn faster times with a built auto, all for less money than the switch

im about to get some flowmaster mufflers, only because im getting them for a good price, flowmasters tend to "drone" as they call it

h hipe will give you more of a deep tone while a x pipe will give you more of a raspy throaty, screaming sound

any more questions?

You can get MIL eliminators... they plug in where the 02 sensors go.. they will turn off the check engine light.

by the way, you really didn't get any hp addition from removing your cats...

Nice. Are you a native or an ex-pat living over there?
