Thanks Cobra. I looked in the Vic owners manual and it said that the cats are under warranty up to 70k miles. Is that true?

Re: Error code p0420

Cats are under fed emmisions warranty usually 7 year or 7K.
But beware code 420 or 430 doe not always mean your cat is bad.
Many things can cause a code 420.
