Where did you drill the exhaust? The cat is at the very bottom of the exhaust near the link pipe.
If the exhaust is now allowing more flow you will need to increase the CO & up the idle speed to stop it cutting out.
Can you do a favor for me can you remove your left side black cover & give me the numbers off your Engine ECU, I want to see if the 2010 models are running a different ECU.
This is what you are looking for.
