I swapped the rear o2 sensors, cleared the code and got the same code after a while. I didn't try the front ones though. I kinda hate to gut the cat.s. Aren't there any hi-perf. ones out there for us poor saps in cali.?

As far as I know there are no alternatives to OEM manifolds with pre-cats. You have several options.

1. Pay for someone to put on new or used OEM manifolds.

2. Put on OEM manifolds yourself new or used.

3. Buy headers and do yourself or pay someone.

4. Gut your pre-cats yourself or have someone help you.

5. Buy some MIL eliminators and have the codes disappear.
