Re: 16v Cat/Downpipe(emissions)

If your cat is gone, then that is what will take care of the NOX.  Assuming 
that you have checked your mixture out and it is not running too lean, 
changing the cat will help you.  You should be able to get a new hi-flo cat 
installed for less than $150.  That's parts and labor.  I paid $137.44 in 
SoCal.

And that's exactly my problem. All the other numbers were OK except NO,
with was 2000 PPM (1200 max allowable.) Anyone know how I can fix this
without loosing my shirt?
