    Does anyone know how to make a check engine light go away for smog because my cat converters have been drilled out? The plates were removed not drilled from the outside. Any suggestions? Any way to trick the computer because the computer keeps blowing codes for my air/fuel sensors and I changed them both already

    OP, I just realized you have an aftermarket exhaust too. Did you do the cat mod before or after the exhaust?
