Default P0430 Code After Kooks Install

Has anyone else seen this? Put 122miles on the car after the header install and saw nary a code. Took great care with the 02 sensors during the install too.

I did a little research both here and at LS1 Tech. Seems that this code can come up with long tube headers and/or high flow cats. The posts I read were somewhat old, but back then, some recommended editing this code out.

Whats the consensus now?

Its usually caused by the high flow cats. If you are running ls1edit or hp tuner you can turn off the rear o2 sensors and you wont have this problem anymore.

Amazingly, that's not one of the codes I got with my LGs......

Reset the code, a couple times if needed, then see if it continues to come back. If so, I would just turn it off..

I've become the master of turning off codes lately... Except for the 2 that LS1 edit thinks are disabled, but still set... and Ken @ Carputing is ignoring me on those issues.. So if you don't have tuning software, and are looking to buy it, I would now recommend HP Tuners.

Good Luck.

I got the voltage codes after my Kooks LT's and cats. I reset them many times and they eventually came back. Apparently, the code trips because the exhaust flows so well that the rear sensors don't get hot enough...or something . I had the rear sensors turned off when the car was tuned. Chris.

Had the rear sensors turned off through tuning.

Things are working great now.

I've had my Kooks on for months now....and the first cold morning I get the same code. Anyone else have this problem with cooler weather?

TIA

I have never had a code with my LGM Lt's & Hi flow cats, except the 0300 when I had my o2 sensors in the wrong sides after the install.
