Chip, can you confirm that you had a CAT code and not an 02 code, but you replaced the 02 and it erased the CAT code?
I have the same code saying a Cat is bad and I'm about to buy a new cat. A new 02 sensor is much cheaper than even a universal cat!
Following up here...
It's going to be the same price ordering two universal cats and having them installed as me buying the whole magnaflow assembly and installing it myself.
Am I at any disadvantage to getting universal cats? Any suggestions?

I had no clue what I was looking for when I went in there but an employee seemed to know what was up.
I picked up two regulators from radio shack today for $4.

Don't wait a year like I did, I'm now getting a bad cat code because it ran rich for...
I've been celebrating for two straight weeks after fixing my random misfire and a new code popped up. It looks like I have bad cat from neglecting the misfire for so long. Around town it drives fine but at highway speed it bogs a little.
Order ONE universal cat and replace it the side that is...
From what I've read, you're very lucky!
3157 LEDs are what I have in right now. I do have a spare set because I figured I'd burn through these, I'm just hoping there's an answer out there and I can use them after everything is good to go.
