Anyone have any tricks to lowering Hydro Carbons? I am getting screwed and the smog shop says it is a Catalytic Converter. I don't know what to do?

you can throw in some 115 octane to burn any •••• out too
I just watched Wheeler Dealers and they were fixing up a green 4.0 JAG. He hooked up a machine that has 2 bottles on it that runs through and cleans exactly what you need done to your car. Check out the vid on youtube and maybe you can have that same process done somewhere.
I know it sounds ridiculous but use the product "guaranteed to pass''. It works wonders. Put it in with a full tank, run the car hard for that tank then refill it. Make sure ur car is really warm before the test and try it, it should pass man. Mine did with no precats and the original main cat
What were your CO levels, and does your car run rough at all?
I usually test a catalytic converter with an infrared thermometer. Run the car at 2500 RPM for 2-3 minutes straight, then check the temperature of the exhaust pipe ahead of the cat, and then the temperature of the cat. The cat should be significantly hotter than the pipe leading into it (300º F. or more hotter). If the two are close to the same temperature, the cat isn't working.

Nice, you got it to pass right?
