hey, go get the codes pulled, and talk to Jweller from hondasociety man. i think HS is down right now, so just wait. dont waste your $$ on stuff u dont need. my advice, i spent $350 cuz i took it to a mechanic who just guessed the DAMN problem, wanted to kill him cuz he said he's sure he was right each time he fixed something. first he said, it was the o2 sensor on the header, than the ignition something. always wrong. so, just wait. no need to guess, cuz u can get it right if u can talk to som1 who knows the codes well.

i almost bought a high flow cat from random tech, and the guy who was the tech guy told me, the cat is only as good as the install. where did u install the high flow cat, and what brand is it btw? sorry if u stated it already, im too lazy to scroll down and check. cuz maybe it was installed poorly? many times when its not a direct fitted one, cuz many are universals, such as carsound. and u need to weld and cut, thus, sometimes they go bad easier if installed incorrectly or poorly.
