Thank you! I was just fixing to ask about PB.

If anyone else has some pro tips, post up.

So hold on ??
Your getting misfire codes and instead of replacing or repairing your issue your spending money on things you don’t need ?? I don’t get it. You remind me of a Honda guy that put 5 k rims and wheels but can’t afford to repair your rusted out fenders and rotting frame

Wait now, if you've got a misfire do NOT put on new cats. Misfires kill catalytic converters and quick. Coolant leaks kill cats too (and oxygen sensors), if they get into the combustion chamber, but misfires kill cats even quicker. Fix those issues before you touch your exhaust.

It’s OK bro. I’m in a lot of enthusiast forums. Some of which I’m the veteran with the knowledge. I try, and do well to stay humble helpful but there are times where I have to refrain a little bit harder not to respond as a total dick. You’ll get there too.
