If not, 200 cell sport cats is always a great option for folks outside of CA and NY.
The tank was half full when I filled up. I added Lucas Fuel Treatment and injector cleaner to the tank but after reading up a bit on old gas and its related issues I think I'll add the Techron also. After researching I realize I should have just drained it.

I reinstalled the Bose subwoofer and shifter console and now everything sounds like I remember it. It's amazing how much engine, transmission, and suspension noise is dampened by the console and sub. If you really want to hear the engine take out the sub and you'll get an earful. It makes me wonder if cars without the sub are as noisy as mine was.

I'm still getting the cat fail but I'll run this tank empty and refill with fresh gas and see if it changes. Maybe I'll add a can of cat cleaner too.
