420 code on....didnt pass inspection
Its been on for months now...but i need my inspection done. My mechanic is cool as eff...but he says i need a new cat....i got my headers/high flow cat installed prob about 30-40k ago. This is the problem everyone has when they get the high flow right? Do i need that delete kit???? he said he turned the light off, but the computer keeps "saying" the cat is the problem....or it thinks the cat is the issue.
ANYBODY HAVE A DELETE KIT FOR SALE?! they dont make them anymore do they? just my luck

HPTuners yo, disable all codes relating to the cat like I did, so they never report an error, either in SES light form or in DTC text on a readout.

I'm on my second one.
The first one crapped out pretty quick, the second one's been in the car for a long time now (can't remember how long, I think 5 years)

Did the ones who didn't have success have no converter at all?
Also, I posted this because it could work and be only like $5.
