i put a set of magnaflow hiflow cats on to replace the stockers in the stock location recently. after less than 5k miles in getting a trouble code. p0130. could they be bad already? or is that sensor? i couldnt imagine me already blowing them out, considering i drive this thing like a grandpa.

thanks!

 

ive heard lots of people burning them out in no time. your best bet is to hollow them out and delete the sensors.

 

If you are supercharged then It wouldn't shock me one bit. Allot of people have had troubles with aftermarket cats blowing apart.

 

wow, good to know. should i try and get them warrantied by them? its been less than a year.

 

Mine are still holding (CA version) as far as I know.

 

hmmm then mine shouldnt be dead! where did you put yours? how far back from the end of the header?

 

as close as we could get them, iirc they're less than a foot behind the collector.

 

ok same as mine then.

maybe i have a bad o2 sensor? i can test those using efi live right?

 

you can just swap the sensor and see if the code clears, follows.

 

Bill, you may be one of the lucky ones. I have seen allot of them fail, this is why I run off road mid pipes.
