Removing the cat seems like the most logical step since I want to keep the resonator. Am I all wrong here or what?
oh you could put the o2 sensor in the new test pipe but unfortunatly it will not return the same value it would if the cat was there thus giving you a CEL for a malfunctioning cat. i think apexi has a thing that sends back the right voltage for the secondary o2 sensor so you can remove the cat but like jon said its worthless, if you dont a much larger flow that is being bottlenecked by the cat then you arent gonna get anything or very little at that.
