Thanks for the reminder of that debacle Cole, lol. This is what he's talking about rocket https://ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-...ns-update.html. They rarely do visual checks here so I decided not to get cats put in. As long as they can plug the car into the computer and no codes pop up then you're all clear.

mine was on too, but we dont have emission checking in Taylor County. and my problem was the computer was reading "too much air flow" through my HF cats. so i took it to my tuner, he plug in his laptop and turned off the code.
