1 flaw in magnaflow catback it wouldn't hookup to my stock cat on my 1996 sense i got 2 cats there pipe coming from 1st cat back by 2nd one then down middle of the car when we put it up on lift.
i think 93-95 only has 1 cat OBI. 96-97 has the OBII

Yea I have stock cats. That's what I thought I needed to do. Some of these shops around here don't have those hand held tuners. I'm reluctant to spend $200 on one.

My light never came on to best I can remember. I've had the combo more than five years time.

I should change out my Cat anyways since I'll be in there with a high-flow one correct?

I know it had something to do with the O2 sensors or the cats. It's pretty common for this to happen

My check engine light isn't on and my car has never been tuned. Every once in a while it'll come on for a few minutes though. But, that's because I need a new o2 sensor on the drivers side header.

Some highflow cats can't pass emissions just depends on how strict they are there
