Catalytic converter troubles
Hey all, sorry to bring back a dead thread, I just thought I'd update on what I ended up doing. Basically just tore out the third cat, and replaced the other two, so far it's running well, and no check engine, so I think I'll just leave it as a two cat car for now- Acquapaza

But you can register your car as a classic too to bypass, if you can prove you're planning on just bringing it to shows, but then there's only a certain number of miles a year you can drive it, or you can get off-road vehicles exempt too, I'm not sure what the rules for that are- Acquapaza

Hey all, over the weekend my explorer decided it wanted to top out at 5mph, and since despite being 12 years old, it's definitely the nicest bed newest car I own, so I felt I should go to a shop instead of kicking it until it works like I've done with my other cars. It's got 115K on it, and full...- Acquapaza
