ok well here we do a driving test on a dyno for 3.2 km's similiatng normal everyday commuting,.
max allowable for HC is 0.3700 g/km and i got 0.9794. max NOx is 0.9300 and i got 1.1843 g/km
i passed the CO portion of the test. just failed in HC and NOx

Well, if it failed for both of those I'd look at the cats. The reactions in our converters include two oxidizing reactions to move unburnt HC to water and carbon dioxide, and another to lower nitrogen oxides through partial conversion to nitrogen and oxygen.

I failed all tests and found out it was the cats.
High flow cats have a hard time cleaning up the exhaust.
Switched to stock Ypipe and my car was cleaner than my Altima. 0 on everything NO was 17
