    I'm getting p0420 on 2001 Silverado. After using this won't the cat eventually clog up completely and cause a rough running engine? Just trying to make sure I don't damage anything worse.

    We don’t do smog testing in my state and they aren’t to strict especially the guy I go to but I do need cats in there if I have gutted cats this would get rid of engine light and is a permanent fix??

    This is basically illegal in all 50 states even though people do it every day LOL

      its not illegal since you are not bypassing any actual emission equipment. all the sensor monitors is weather the cat is working. you will still either pass or fail an emission test. this is a good fix for an intermittent code. it does not "fix" a bad converter.

    That is a good temporary fix but there are some states to pass emissions for state inspection that would be illegal and would fail inspection. And being that I'm in North Carolina it would fail here. I will say this is fantastic information and I thank you very much for the time and effort that you put into your videos.
