Default My Integra passed smog!!! Off to the ref. station.

Well guys, it was the catalytic converter. Prior to replacing the cat the numbers were 15mph 61/61 & 25mph 45/46. After replacing the catalytic converter the numbers dropped dramatically 15mph 61/9 & 25mph 45/8. So if anyone thinks it could have been something else, oh well, this was the big cheese. My advise, don't use race fuel unless your on the track and dropped your cat for the day. The lead in race fuel ****s your cat. I did not tell Acura this, but I did some research and the shoe fit. So I guess the cop pulling me over was a good thing. My car would have been due smog next year and I would have run into this problem then and most likely my car would have had more than 80k but since it happened now at under 80k I saved a grand on that alone. I spent about 1/2 in tuning, but $500 saved is $500 earned.
