strong recommendation for anyone tracking the car more than a few days a year, just put the cup car cats, no cats, or aftermarket cats on the car. yes you'll probably not pass emissions. yes you might get a CEL unless you put a tune (even one that JUSt turns off the O2 check and no engine tuning).
OEM cats are $ out of warranty.... aftermarket headers/exhaust not that much.

Timely thread. I just had my CEL yellow light appear this afternoon. My local indie shop plugged in and read the code: second bank cat is going bad (or something to that effect). They ended up resetting the light and told me that if/when it comes on again, to contact dealer. The car has 25,000 miles, a Sharky bypass, and has seen a fair amount of track days.
So, do I need to return to stock prior to visiting the dealer? I do not have a very good relationship with my local dealer.
Thanks,
Mike
