Default 89 5.0 Emission Problems

I have an 89 5.0 and am fightng to get thru emissions here in arizona. I havn't had any problems until i put an Edebrock performer intake on. It used to go thru emissions with flying colors. I have to take off my x-pipe and put my stock exhaust on w/cats to get thru. I got codes saying it was my map sensor and egr sensor but afte replacing it got worse readings. Do u think it might be the cats? Any help would be great.
