Got my exhaust installed Tuesday which consists of a Jegs off-road Y, no cat and magnaflow muffler dumped in front of the rear axle. Drove fine that day and the next morning. Took it to have the oil changed and it feels like it's for a slight miss and now shakes horrible over 45mph.
It feels like once the converter locks up that the rpm's are too low. Almost like shifting into 5th gear instead of 3rd in a manual. Does this sound like a converter issue or something else?
It had a CEL when I put the new battery on Tuesday but it cleared itself Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

Any ideas as I'm kinda lost since it seemed to clear up for a few days and now its back

Just because the light isn't on doesn't mean there's no trouble code. Scan it.

You can rule out converter by simply turning od off and driving about 45-50

Light came back on last night. Tried to scan it today but there's no power at the plug-in. I'll check fuses in the morning and go from there.

Fuse looked good but replace it anyways. Code was for an O2 sensor. I'm guessing from no cat but it seemed to clear itself up again. The little stutter is gone and no problems in OD above 45mph

Stopped for gas Friday and when I started it after filling up, the stutter is back and it shakes in OD again
