You purchased yourself a cat that flows TOO well for the stock sensors. Blame the idiots that told you it would work, because lo and behold, they were wrong.

Are any of them running an O2 simulator?

I will check the number on my cat when I get home.

i had a problem were i had a code 0404 and a 1404 come up due to an egr valve check that too but that is a 200 buck part or even try to get adapter that goes in the lower o2 the cat side .it plugs into the connector and is used for people who have beefed up the car on the exhaust end .it sends a reading to the ecm that everything is ok .rk sports sells them for most gm cars

put a spacer in there

it'll pull the o2 sensor further out from the exhaust piping, and it'll think everything's hunky doory again.

..you've never heard of this trick?

way to thread-jack

P0440 is the EVAP system. Not related to this thread or the cat.

But.. I'd say... check your fuel cap. That's the most common cause of the P0440 code.

ive got that cat , and no problems


each car is different because of the program coding , and some cars end up being more sensitive than others


but put a few washers on the sensor to space it out some and see how that works out


the magnaflow cats are 1 of the better cats out there , and 1 of the very few that i know of are obd2 approved cats
