after i installed my header i started throwing a cel for the catalytic converter warm up below threshold. i know what the code means and oviously it would throw the code since i have not cat, i just wondered if anyone knew how to make it stop throwing the code?
i shut the engine light off all the time but it happens at least every other day, its annoying.
anyone have any ideas?

I had the same problem after installing my header. I used what xJAZx is reffering to, and haven't thrown a code since. Cost less than 5 bucks and took ten minutes.

Plus, running rich = more gas burned = wasted $$$ = poorer you
