Warranty? Well, if your key fob begins to lose its lustre, your Cats should not affect you receiving a new one...

Just installed the 2M Performance sport cats, Sounds AWESOME !!!
I am impressed with the snap crackle pop and extra HP boost. I could feel the performance difference.
My only problem is, I didn't install the 2 extra deck bungs that came with the 2M Fabrication cats and I got a check engine light code P0430.
What does code P0430 Bank 2 mean?
Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
P0430 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2).” The code warns about a problem with the catalytic converter mounted near engine bank 2 (the side of the engine opposite the number one cylinder) ..........WHICH SIDE IS BANK 2, ??????
Install the deck bungs last night, No check engine light after a 20 min drive. I'll have to take her for a long drive up the 401 and hope the P0430 code doesn't come back.............I also removed the O2 sensors off the headers and swopped them left to right to rule out any issues with those 02 sensors , if the check engine light were to came back on.

Any thoughts on what to do with my old cats? I’m simply wondering if they add any value to the sale (when my Z06 allocation comes up) of the car by having them? I’ve kept the OEM rims as well - really not 100% sure what to do with them either but thinking it’s always awesome to have a second set for all seasons…. I think my OEM cats have about 10K Km on em as well when I switched them out. Lemme know… scrap em? Keep ‘em? Include these items with the car at sale time? Thanks

I think there is a market for old cats since they contain rare minerals.

I would include everything with the car when you sell it

You are correct. There is a huge market at scrapyards for catalytic converters. Certain ones bring up to $4,500.00 each. We have a big theft problem out here with people crawling under vehicles and cutting off the cats with a reciprocating saw and selling them to scrap metal yards.

There's a company on Kijiji called Techmet that buys catalytic converters for good money. Give them a shout and they will quote you.
My son got $900 for his STI cat.

All you need is a mechanic's creeper and a battery powered saws-all and you're set for additional retirement income Jack.
