So, my check engine light came on and it turned out to be my catalytic converter and I have turned it into a straight pipe, now that the problem is fixed, but I still have a check engine light on. How I get that off now one it's still reading converter?

What codes it is? You should be able to just clear the codes and be okay. Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and it should be clear. Here is how to get the codes in case you don't know which code it is:
