Definitely the cat...I had the same problem, and the same problem with an OBD2 cat. Magnaflow/Carsound makes an OBD2 legal cat. http://www.car-sound.com/catalog/universal/430.aspx

Your numbers are not that bad. I have failed way worse and a new cat made all the difference. It put it way under. If all else has already been done, swap the cat. With all you spent on tests, you could have bought one. lol...

Yep, the cat converter is likely dead.
I'll probably have to replace mine within the next two years. :squint:
I came pretty close to failing the 15mph HC this summer.

Just had my smog done. 457 ppm on the "NO" portion with a max allowed of 467 @ 15 mph. Although I passed I'm still concerned next time I may not, as well as any performance issues that may come up. Called around and the dealer most likely says its the cat. but can't really tell with out me shelling out money for them to look at it. I have a 99 LS with around 95K on it. I last got the 90k service around 88 or 89k. Any thoughts would help.
