We need some HC,CO, and/or NOx numbers to better help you.

just get a new catalytic converter. i passed emissions in illinois with a 2.5 inch high flow cat, and we have strict emissions here, or so i've heard. not totally sure on that one, but i would definintly replace the cat. are you getting any code's on the ecu?

Sounds like you need a new cat, were your NOx readings nearly over the limit?
