if the CEL has come on take it to a garage to read the code(s).

the light has prob come on due to it thinking the cat is not working properly, you either need to get it mapped and the mapper can take it off, or fit a manual/electronic fix, the code for this is something like 3040, common when fitting a de cat down pipe,
