Check Engine Light Need Help?

I just recently put the Ultimate Racing 3" High Flow Cat on my car and just today on my way to work the check engine light came on. Is this going to hurt anything in my car? My other mods with the high flow cat are a RMR intake, RMR 3" exhaust and the RMR 3" downpipe and a boost gauge and turbo timer. Since I got over looking at the check engine light I disconnected the neg side of the battery and the reset the ecu, let it disconnect for about 5-10 min. It got rid of the light but will it come back and if it does I think I will prob put the stock cat back on.

most likely you wont have too. i have had to reset mine but thats only after a mod or two but i havent had it come back on if so just reset it & turn the key in the ignition 3 times but do not start the car then after the 3rd click turn it over and you shouldnt have the reset showing.
