So ive decided to get some high flow cats to fnish of my exhaust system. I know it will almost 100% throw that warning message, do i have to get this tuned out straight away? or can i go for a couple of months ignoring it.
Bit strapped for cash atm :cry:

If you leave it for too long with out having the rear O2's diabled the computer may lock into limp home mode thinking something major is wrong.
If you are that strapped for cash then wait until you can afford to have a tune done.
If the car goes into limp home mode you will be forced to have it done and that could cost more than just a tune.

car wont go into limp mode because of oxy sensors, i dont even have one in my car atm as i have an aftermarket sensor in there so i can tune my car.

save your money and get a tune when you can afford it

get your standard cats opened up to 2.5" or whatever... then get the cats welded to the flange bolted to the back of your extractors...

you want the cats and the rear 02 sensors as close to the engine as possible...
