Coincidence or Not?

Two weeks ago I change my exhaust, with O2 sensor extenders.
For a week no issues no CEL. Last week the car is running really rough and stalling at idle, no CEL.

Do I need a tune after a cat back? or is something else going on?
What step to do next? I have a Durametric.

Do I unplug battery to reset the DME or can I reset with the DME somehow? How?

TIA

If you changed the cats then the exhaust system is not "cat back"...so that might be the first place to look. Even though no CEL you might have some codes - your Durametric can read those if present. Check the O2 extenders also.

Try cleaning your MAF - lots of posts on how to do this. Search MAF cleaning.

How can you tell which MAF is bad or do you just change both?

2nd day after clearing code, I get a CEL. Will read code tonight.
Think maybe the MAF s are going? Do I just replace both?
