Probably---- mine didn't at first but it only took a couple of hours----custom tune will take care of the problem.

You installing yourself? The only reason i went shorty is because i wanted to do myself. Now that im hearing more and more about people doing themselves in their driveways may have to change that. Keep us up.

Custom tune should fix it BUT if you still have an issue we can provide a spacer that can fix the issue.

If you haven't purchased them already let me know we offer great pricing on ARH!

Opinions on Borla, AFE, Magna flow, Gibson or MBRP ?

Cat back single exhaust

I have my eye on either the offroad turn down or middle side exit from Magnaflow. Both will save weight. I've added enough to the truck already. Then I can do a rear bumper delete to get rid of the dual exit factory sport bumper.

My rig is Ram 2500 6.4L Tradesman. I don't believe there's a turn down made for it

Anyway looks sweet for a 1500

What brand LTs did you go with? I have ARH LTs with cats and can run without a tune and not get any errors. (I have a custom tune, but I remove it anytime I go to the dealer...)

But mine may be unusual as I’ve heard others could not.

I thought I had read AFE longtubes put the cats in their system closer to stock location and so don't throw codes??? Is that correct??

My pal has had catted AFE LT headers on for at least 6 months, running a canned Diablo tune with no codes
Best I did was a month with ARH before the codes popped up

You can combine long tubes with cats...but you’ll likely lose a hand if you try to separate them:

Have a 19 classic with ARH longtubes/cats. No CEL after a couple thousand miles. No custom tune or non-fouler type tricks.
