If all else fails you can get a computer reflash (depending on your year) which will disable the rear 02 DTC check.

Thanks for the help. I am logged in under a new username with a signature now. regarding a computer reflash: I currently have the car at a dealership service dept.--Are they able to handle a reflash or is it something I can learn about?
They have told me that the CAT itself is bad (but it is brand new). I installed it myself and created the prblem by not using the 50 state model . After almost $2500 in a bunch of front end parts,new tires, new motor mounts, etc. I got cheap on the cat and can't get a sticker !! Bummer!

Scott...I'm confused in the first post you had a 2001 SSEi and it turned into a 2003 SSEi in your sig.
Either one though should be fine with a magnaflow cat if that'* the brand you used. I'm currently running one with no trouble from the O2'* at all.
Where in Mass are you? I've got a scanner and we could look at what is going on.

I am near the Rhode Island Border. Hartford CT is 1.5 hours. Right now I am installing new rear shocks to tighten up the rear end, and then I'll be back to the CAT and emissions issue.

MagnaFlow Oval Catalytic Converter 2.5" - 94006
check that one out... I just purchased the same one from that store about three weeks ago for our '03 SSEi.
If you do go with that one.. submit a best offer of $50.00, I did and they accepted with free shipping
