Damage any wiring "down there" when installing the new exhaust? Was welding involved?

Check your wiring that runs near the bottom of the car, and has something to do with the cluster, such as the oil level switch, oil pressure sender, etc...

Also check your 7.5A "meter" fuse, which also powers the alternator warning light relay (CPU), the back-up lights, the warning lights panel, and the factory alarm, among other things...
