Stupid Cats

So the srt8 has been making a rattling sound when under load. I had Ron listen to it and we thought that something was loose, Well yesterday the SES light came on. I had the code pulled and checked and it was a P0430 (i think) code means something about the cats and now the drivers side rattles more. My question is if I gut them out will it throw a code? Is it going to be really annoying to drive, (stock muffler, deleted the resonators)
Thanls for any info

 

Yes, and probably yes. :grin:

 

the driver side rattles more but 0430 is pass side cat efficiency.I would be willing to bet someone has a set of stock 6.1 cats lying around.

 

If you gut them you'll have to turn off your O2's so you dont get constant codes

 

Just use your predator to turn off the o2's I think you will get a check engine light? Or you could have them taken off with the cmr tune and you for sure will not get a light.

 

Well crap, that sucks.

hmmm Try asking Dave at Motiva and see if he has the cats from the Challenger laying around?


Time for you to finally buy the Predator. hahahaha

 

It might be time for that predator huh :grin:

 

haha it's been that time for months now. hahahaha Go see Dave at Motiva/Hellion.

 

It has but been working on the truck so the car has been on the back burner

 

Are they stock cats? What's your mileage? I believe the oem cats have to make 50,000 miles per Fed regualations...

 

stock cats... car has 37992 miles

 

oooh, good catch there Bucky.
Call the dealer and tell them you're pretty sure they have to fix it under warranty. Then when you take it in make sure to wipe some of the soot off the tips and give it a minute to let the gas that's dripping out of them evaporate :grin:

 

I thought that the warranty was 3/36 what else is covered?

 

e-m-i-s-s-i-o-n-s... different ball game.

 

First I've heard of stock cats failing.

 

Hells yeah.... Im not sure what else it could be, we only use 91 octane in the car, it's not driven hard so Im not sure what else that code can stand for

 

With your symptoms, i'de say you diagnosed it correctly. Just haven't heard of a stock cat for us failing yet...you're my first. It can happen i guess.

 

Emissions is covered for 80k miles......dealer has to replace the cats under Fed law.

 

*sneezes* BULLSHIT... lol

 

shut up Ron, it's not driven hard on a regular basis :grin:
