for the CEL to come on after removing cats and running off-road pipes?

we disconnected the battery for about 30 minutes during the install, then slapped everything back together and took it for a spin. i've probably driven about 75 miles since installing the off-road pipes and still no light. just curious.

Depends on atmospheric pressure (elevation) and density of the air (high compression, air temp, humidity).

You pose a loaded question.

There is no correct answer, it all depends on how you drive and how long it takes for the ECU to pick up something that is wrong with the exhaust. you can get one 10 all the way to 1000 miles.
