Default LT Headers and emissions sniffer test

I have recently begun using a scanner and I noticed that the performance of the O2 sensors are not normal due to their relocation (cooler exhaust temps). Has anyone had problems passing the sniffer test, assuming that cats are present?

Thanks!

Their location probably isn't the problem. They're probably on their way out. Also you can pass the sniffer with LTs and cats.

My header/cat installation threw a code for low converter performance.
It is because the converters are further away from the exhaust port and don't heat up
enough. It took 100 milres of driving to throw a code.
You can either put in O2 sims or have the code deleted with LS1-Edit.
