Exclamation Check engine light

So I Went to My Buddy's House, & He Has an OBD Scanner, & we plugged up my car & i got these codes. I know the P0420A is because of my clogged cat, but i just got a ZZP downpipe and ima put it in and i understand that the code will stay until i get a PCM tune. i just have no idea wtf the other 2 are. he told me something about "knocking" i need sum help.

P0332B
P0420A
P0730C

It's in the right section. Did you notice this sticky that is 2 posts above yours?

Should let you know in more detail about your OBDII codes. Did you already install the downpipe?

Oh I was gonna say maybe it was installed wrong so the pipe was hitting something and setting off your knock sensors.

You'll find this is great reading for this DTC P0730 Incorrect Gear Ratio:

This link explains what the code is and how to check for faults (Also pretty enlightening): DTC P0332 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low Input (Bank 2)

To fix my gear ratio thing can i just get a tuned PCM?

i asked my buddy that owns CompTurbo [compturbo.com] what could possibly be wrong with my Knock Sensor and he said i should replace it. he gets a discount and says he can get it real cheap.
