I just got an Apex'i Cat Back Exhaust installed this past week and I love it but I noticed a slight issue with my electrical. Most noticably my lights: dash, exterior, and interior lights will pulsate when the car is on, once off or if rev lightly when neutral it will steady.
I was thinking it was the maf? I tinkered with it but nothing changed. Could it be something to do with the exhaust? Possibly O2 sensor? I duno what that is, just something I read about. Any ideas?
maybe it messed with your idle, and your idling lower, thus your alternator is not putting out enough juice? maybe you messed with a ground somewhere
Any way I can check that? I gonna call the guy that installed it. Possibly they may know what's going on. Is there a way I can check myself though? When the car idles, the muffler doesn't move, it's really quiet. When I rev it at idle, the electrical steadys though. So I dunno if that's the problem.
Should make yourself a grounding kit or buy one might help with the electrical issue also check how much juice your battery has when it's off and when the alternator is charging
adjust your idle if its low (below 750). check your battery cables, also check your belts. make sure you terminal post are jdm tyte. are you running sounds? if you are, you may want to look into running a bat cap for your amp. you may also want to check if you car battery is legit under load. gL.

Not really it helps with your idle to make it stable, sounds, whining noises, throtle response, and even your battery. Try it if your headlights dim when you roll your windows up and down or any other electrical issues
