catalytic converter
Hey All,
My 08 GT has been throwing some catalytic converter trouble codes and they tend to turn on and off. I did have some engine work done IE it's supercharged, Intake, Headers and wonder if these upgrades either are to much for the stock catalytic converter's or if they are indeed going out. I decided to just upgrade my catalytic converter's anyways and need some direction on where to shop to find not just the best deal but the best possible product.

My current set up is Dynatech/SuperMaxx Stainless Steel Header Exhaust System with H pipe, BBK's Shorty Headers. I also have a Saleen Series VI Supercharger Kit. I have a Ford Racing Intake and a Ford Racing muffler kit. The codes below are pretty much the three codes that pop on and off with the P0430 code being the constant code.
P0159 Oxygen Sensor B2 S2 X1
P0430 Catalyst efficiency B2 x2
P0420 Catalyst efficiency B1 x1
P0159 Oxygen Sensor B2 S2 X1
P0430 Catalyst efficiency B2 x2
P0420 Catalyst efficiency B1 x1

I have High Flow cats already so I am assuming they are being triggered because of that. I have heard they don't have the mil eliminators for 05+ mustangs so I am going to look into the anti foulers.

If you dont need to get tested Eliminate your cats IMO. You may have also damaged your sensors with your upgrades. I think the 430 is after the cat and the others are before with mods you may not be meeting the emissions window of operating. If you have already put high flow cats on may look into testing and/or replacing your sensors.
