430 Mini Cats on F430 2008+

Emissions standards are not only different by year model, but by region of the world as well. Capristo used to make an OBD II wizard specifically for this purpose. I don't know if they still sell them or not.

 

My Capristo runs fine without these extenders

 

I bought 90d big daddies, but didn't install, if that's the way you end up going, have new in box, half price

 

on my 430 i have used this instead of mini cats

I have 2 45deg Fabspeed minicats that were on my 05 430 with Fabspeed headers and no cels I had an ECU tune done and removed them. If you want to try them I’ll send them out to you for the postage. The problem I had was that they always seemed to loosen up. PM me if interested.

 

That is one heck of a price for what it does

 

i do have mini cats on my scud, not sure which ones Miller put on though

 

Fabspeed are utter garbage, always come loose, 90 or 45s and I’ve had both. Shortly having the ECU reprogrammed so I don’t have to put up with them.

 

Do you want them because you are removing the cats or just putting on headers? If it is for removing the cats I don't think anything will work except turning the 02's off in a tune. If it's just for the headers putting on 45deg Big Daddys worked on my 08.

 

Im being told ny scud has 45 degree ones

 

I dont remember where i read it but aren’t the fabspeed one’s supposed to be much better than the big daddy?

 

This is what I have, CEL fix, not minicats

I think you would be best served with reprogramming the ECU.

 

The only guaranteed way to do this properly is to reconfigure the software. Pm for more details

Its odd it does not effect the Capristo setup

 

I have cap headers and cap 200 cel cats on my 2006 and i get the cel

 

I have the cap manifolds and back box, oem cats. Only thing i do is start it up and let it tick over for a couple minutes. It lets the sensors get hot so no unburnt fuel lands on a cold sensor and set it off. If hot will just evaporate.

 

Yeh its the 200 cel cats that bring on the cel

 

It's nothing to do with Capristo it's the different model years have different sensitivity and calibrations in the firmware.

Depending on how these are defined and how much the difference is between the primary o2 and secondary o2 thresholds will trigger the CELs. So obviously if you run cats which aren't as efficient (cheaper cores or ones that are designed to flow better at the expense of cleaning ) you'll potentially trip the diagnostic into thinking your Cats need replacing..

 

I have replaced the original exhaust manifolds on my 07 with headers. Original CATS and muffler. No check engine light until I would step on it a little hard and the baffles open. Then the light comes on. Fully warmed up etc.
I put these on

And now no check engine light. Drove 300 km today trying to trigger it but no luck
They have a mini ceramic? core that gets hot and I guess deals with any raw fuel. They do project into the middle of the exhaust stream.
The ends just screw on and would fall off unless you use a punch to deform the cap that holds the core in
So far so good.

Missed this point
These were installed after the secondary CATS. Not in the headers

 

So I’ve put about 600 km on since I added the “mini cats”? No check engine light. Hot starts, cold, drive away before the check engine goes out . On off the gas. Spirited driving, cruising etc.No light.
I believe these work
