Question Check engine light on after installation of OBX headers and Magnaflow dual exhaust

Hey there. I just installed new OBX headers and Magnaflow dual exhaust on my 2004 Dodge 1500 5.7L Hemi. When I started the truck, the check engine light was on so I disconnected my battery, then tried again. It stayed off for a couple of mins. then came back on. Any suggestions on what to do next?

and hence why you have a CEL.

Time for the non-fouler trick. (FAQ section)...

Ok. Now that I have found those. Should I do that with all four of my sensors or just the primary and secondary?

Put them on the rear O2 sensors. The front O2's do not need them. If you still get CEls after putting them on and resetting the PCM, try stuffing them with 0000 steel wool and try again. Thats what i had to do.
