Well I had the error code P0420 which was supposed to be the cats, thats what indy machanics kept telling me. So I say why not take it to the dealer see what they, so I did turns out wasnt cats just had an exhaust leak that messed with the O2 sensors that tripped the code, its covered under warranty so they are replacing it just waiting now fir them to call me back to pick up my white girl

^^ good to hear it was a minor adjustment and covered under warranty.

But speaking of stealing cat converters, they are getting swiped right and left here in CA. They are busting all sorts of people constantly for stealing them. Guys here can take one off a car in a few minutes. And why not, recyclers are giving them $100 to $150 a pop, as is! They hit all the trucks and SUV type cars so they don't have to jack them up. Figure you get a few in a hour, that's $$$$!!!
