Replacement of High Flow Cats.

chris1 · September 5th, 2008, 09:55 AM

Service engine light came on with code P0430. I understand that this is a catalytic converter problem, exhaust leak, or an o2 sensor about to give out.

Anyways, I have a bassani X pipe with "High Flow Cats" and I was wondering if they can be replaced with different Hi-performance cat (magnaflow). If so, which one would be highly recommended.

Do they come in different sizes or does one size fit all? Will it be a direct bolt-on without and modification or major adjustment>

you might be getting an engine code because aftermarket cats arent as efficent as the factory ones....i work at a chevy dealership and see this problem alot

The code was read and removed at a Ford Dealership. The "Service Engine" light hasn't been back in about 2 days.

Unless the law changed and you can find one with a CARB number, high-flow cats aren't smog-legal anyway.

jegs sells 50 state legal high flow cats, and try getting some MIL eliminators they can make the code go away
