Okay so I'm trying to ask the guy about it and it kinda sounds like he's BSing a little now, but I don't know quite enough to say. A little help anyone?

Me:
Does the car still do lean burn? I heard taking out the stock cat might prevent it.

Him:
You have to have the secondary 02 hooked up and I do. A lot of exhuasts don't have a secondary 02 port but the one I have does. so it still does.

Me:
So you don't have the stock cat but it still does lean burn?

Him:
Ya cause it doesn't run a catalyst test all the time. It stops working once the test runs because the cat fails cause it's not there, but once you clear the code it's fine. I have a scantool so I can clear it.

Me:
So how often do you have to do it?

Him:
Only when it sets the catalyst efficiency code which for me has been 3 times in 40k miles.



I thought that was getting checked all the time.... ?

If he's right it wouldn't be a big deal cause I'm planning on getting a scangauge or something, but if this guy is making crap up I don't want to buy from him.
