solid check engine light - "catalyst sys capacity"

ok check it i picked up my goat fri after the pacesetter long tube headers and magnaflow catbacks install. they had to make their own mid pipe, no prob. so half mile down the road it starts misfiring (could feel it) and check engine light was blinking obviously so i swung back around, no problem though just loose wire. got that fixed. was running fine since then but yesterday night (sat) when i got home the check engine light came on solid... about the same time i had to drive over the same 2 speed bumps i've driven over about 5 times since i picked up my car... well i always take them very slow obviously but this time when i took them i heard and felt a loud metallic bounce... not like car was bottoming out but like something was loose and bouncing. obviously i cant fit under my car but when i get under best i can i don't see any problems... got out my superchips flashpaq and found out solid check engine light was "catalyst sys full" or "catalyst sys overload" or some crap. can't remember the exact vernacular. something like error code 1080 or something.

so obviously its a problem in the exhaust... is this related to the bouncing i hear/feel now? or just coincidence? dudes at exhaust place (which sucks btw) will be hearing from me monday when they reopen so they can fix my shiz... but i want to make sure this is a problem on their end before i go taking it up there.

i cleared the code with my flashpaq, and i was wondering, if it's still having the same problem, would the light come back on again? or would it not since i cleared it and it may be a steady problem? get back to me on that please

either way, its still making the loud clang over the speed bumps even with the check engine light cleared
