P0420 Code
After I had a Hogan Downpipe with the hi-flow cat and Magnaflow mufflers, i started getting the P0420 code, has anyone else had this happen and what have you done to fix it? according to a few websites, they recommend that I replace both O2 Sensors, is that the correct fix?

This is really common, go hit up the search box and you will see the answer in many many places.
You can either get a tune, there is a mechanical fix, deal with it, get rid of the pipe, etc...

ya same thing happen to me, I just had the car tuned and they tuned out the code. Since then its never been back. I would try that first before changing the O2 sensors. Besides having the car tuned is the recomended fix from hogan themselvs. http://hoganperformance.com/DP7S.htm

Well see there's part of the issue, I bought the newer downpipe from Hogan, who assured me that this model doesn't throw codes, but i am still getting it, any recommendations on tuning? i live in Eastern PA and so far have not found anyone local who can do the tune, i thought about buying a superchips tuner, would that help my issue and provide me with a good tune?

JDMC5,
How can I turn off the rear O2? i was looking at website to see if they offered one of those O2 simulators so that the computer would always see the right voltage and not throw a code, but nobody has them for an 07.

RedHotg8,
Thanks for that info, I will look into that and will keep my fingers crossed. I see you show a superchips tune, did that really make a difference for you, was it noticeable?

I use hptuners to turn off the code. There are several different brands of software that can also do it. Any speed shop that can tune your car should be able to do it.
