I found this

The Misleading Nature of the PO42O Code - Eastern Manufacturing

in my State, MT we don't have emission inspections, so if do exhaust I may just leave it out

My knowledge of the P0420 code is typically:
- Bad cat
- Bad rear O2 sensor
- Good cat, but non-OEM replacement cat (aftermarket/parts store replacement or high flow).

In the case of option #3, there are some solutions ranging from "fooling" the system to PCM adjustments.

Thanks, think I'll just replace the cat and the O2 at the same time and see what goes from there!!
