most likely you wont have a SES light. Since its an 03 your pretty safe with the TPs.

No CEL on a 2003. Just a bit more power and a louder exhaust note.

lol too true on the install being a PITA! the manifold bolts are hard to get unless you have a hydrolic lift which makes it 10000000000x's better! lol

For install... YOU NEED A 14mm DEEP. Other than that 3 10 inch extensions did fine for me.
