NO is nitrous oxide, but why it is high is beyond my knowledge. I know without my main cat when I was on the dyno that number was well over 4000 for me.

what over high combustion temps?  
get sa cooling system flush and pull the thermostat out too.  
then put some gas line antifreeze in the tank.

it’ll burn cooler but not pooch the test but…it may convert some Nox to Cox’s  
(thats carbonic oxides you perverts) some of the Cox’s aren’t even tested for

I changed the Cat and passed with flying colors  
\*\* DO NOT USE THE PASS GARUNTEE can, you have to drive for something like 400k to clean it out of the system before you take the test, and it might f-up your cat in the end’  
To change the cat only cost me $200 taxes in and install included at Zoro in mississauga.  
To get a fake pass would have been $250.  
I spent $250 but i have a new cat.  
Then i blew the clutch, but that’s another topic LOL
