replace your cat, it’s probably clogged. you can get an oem style cat for $80 and they pass unlike some high flow cats that don’t. when i replaced my exhaust system i noticed that my header downpipe was completely rusted and when i put my hand on it to take it off, it snapped in 2. you can check o2 as well, but you’ll probably fix the problem by making sure your whole exhaust system is good. oh, and before you get your test done floor it somewhere for a bit to get the engine warmed up ---

Those e-test results are REALLY high, even if he had a broken cat. lol… Maybe it’s because he has full 3" exhaust too? ---
