Default Error Code

Well I just bought my car about a week ago thinking it was stock.

The next day some codes came up...

P0420 TWC System Low Efficiency Bank 1
P0430 TWC System Low Efficiency Bank 2

I took it to a shop and they said the previous owner added headers to it.

They haven't had time to really look at it, so I'm taking it back up there Monday.

I think I've read somewhere that after a header install these codes usually come up.

Does that means somethings wrong or that's just what happens after you install headers.

Thanks for help..I don't know too much about cars.

If the previous owner added LT headers, it needs a tune to "trick" the rear O2 sensors. The code you are getting leads me to believe they didn't get the car tuned after the header install.

Where are you located? It helps to know, so we can point you in the right direction of a good tuner
