try resetting the ecu, if that doesn't help you may have a damaged sensor. In my 03 I didn't use nonfoulers and didn't get a cel

may not be a fix as in, the only way to get rid of the light is to put the cats back in

Try checking the code. When I installed mine, one sensor was jacked so I had to buy another. Now no light.

Your '03 is throwing a code

As mentioned above, have you tried resetting the ecu?

And yes,
Zexy's Non Foulers work well.. I purchased a set for myself when I ran TP's and I did not throw a CEL.

Might try putting some stainless steel pot-scrubber mesh (Choreboy) inside the non-fouler. Has helped some people with persistent codes. Or try adding another non-fouler to the stack...

Zexy? Yes. Bought mine months ago. Good quality. Good fit.

Work most of the time, but they aren't 100% fool proof. CEL's pop on 100% stock cats from time to time as well.

+1 on the stainless steel wool trick. Use 434 fine stainless steel if you have a source for it.
