You'll be happy to know that you're in good company. This happens quite often.

@Knight Ryder

Are those cats that come with the Kooks listed as high flow? I have Boost Brothers longtubes with Thunderbolt High Flow cats and I have the P0420 and P0430 for the catalyst operating below threshold, on a stock tune with stock airbox and I can't pass emissions. Also what type of gas were you running during the testing? 93? This is really wearing me out.

Well...it passed emissions, no problems. I went home and re-uploaded the tune again and presto, back to performance.

Yep, I loved Mississippi's Inspection.

Me: Hey I need an inspection

Local Oil Change Guy: Cool, That'll be $5.

Me: Here you go (hands $5 bill to LOCG)

LOCG : Cool ($5 goes into pocket), here's your sticker.

Me: Thanks.
