Did you extend/rewire the sensor yourself or is it the stock sensor unmolested?

i did break the piece that connects my o2 sensor to the frame but it still connects great it just a little push piece to hold the connector on the bar.

If you're not having any driveability symptoms from this, it is most likely just the high-flow cat. Anyone w/ HPT can turn the MIL off from that scenario...

That plastic clip has no effect on the sensor's performance.

Look for someone to just tune it out. You're not the only person in Maryland that owns a GM or Ford...

...start by looking in the regional section on here for someone w/ HPT.

Tuning section has a list of people that you could contact to have that addressed.

Here's an active thread w/ MD members talking about a meet in the Spring. Pop in there and ask if they know of any local people w/ HPT:

don't know how those work but if it fools the computer into thinking you sensor is ok then it should work. The CEL should go away after it doesn't sense the error after a few cycles.
