its your overheat exhaust system warning light. means that your exhaust is overheating due to a possible restriction. that or it could be a malfunctioning sensor. do a search on this, it seems to be a problem that occurs every now and again. there was just a thread on this about a week ago.

Since you did not list the year of car, I am guessing if you pull out your passenger seat there is a temperature senor mounted the floor pan. Latest years had a probe actually going down into the stock exhaust.

they do have the sensor, pretty cool, huh? the sensor is mounted to the floor under the passenger seat. pull the carpet up and look for the connector and the grommet. the sensor is probably going nuts because of the aftermarket exhaust.

Why? I thought without a cat and a fast flow exhaust system the temp would be less.
