Default Need help with check Engine light on

Hi everyone, my friend have 06 IS350, and he had the guy did the custom bend mid pipe with custom made 02 sensor too, it look good and perfect bend curve just same as factory mid pipe, and I drove for one day, and the second day while he driving the check engine light and VSC light turn ON, any know or had the problem like that when you install aftermarket mid pipe? please help

You can go to Autozone and find out what type of CEL was set. Could have damaged the wires on the 02 sensor perhaps? Hard to know until the code is known.

I don't recall midpipes alone causing a CEL but I have not really kept up-to-date on midpipe developments much.

He replaced the O2? Or made a custom bung for it? Like Gaugster said check it for free at a parts store.

If it does then the wire or the sensor is fugged.
