2025 Explorer ST - Getting Emission Sensor Error after CVFab Down Pipes

I recently installed CVFab downpipes, and everything seemed fine until I pushed the car harder. At that point, I received a "power control system" error indicating abnormal emission levels. I half-expected this, but I was able to clear the code using Forescan.

What happened next is what I don't fully understand and could use some help with. After clearing the error, I went back out to drive it again to see if the emission issue was a one-time occurrence. When I pushed it and hit the rev limiter, the car immediately lost all power and started misfiring, and the check engine light flashed. I eased off the throttle and limped along for about 30 to 60 seconds, and then the car corrected itself and stopped misfiring. I got another error message in the Ford app saying I had a severe misfire. I am attaching the Ford app errors and the two PCM Forescan messages about a misfire on cylinder 3.
Has anyone seen this or have any idea how to solve it? If not I'm going back to the stock downpipes...

Thanks!

Im pretty sure then answer is going to be defoulers for the O2 sensors.

Did you install the defoulers? If not, that is most likely it.
