Re: Dying cat

Does it have to pass emissions ? If so you will have to get another cat converter .

Re: Dying cat

You will have to get your ECM flashed because the O2 after the cats will cause a Check Engine Light! I think

Re: Dying cat

You can do what i did and put a fouler in front of your o2 sensor. Its what alot of dudes do when they eather gut or straight pipe their cat, but being a 98 ya might have to reflash it.
