Best advise right here.
I just did this recently, cause I didn't pass "this year" on a downpipe with an OBD2 compliant cat retrofitted on, as well as the cat had a hard time passing at idle. This same set up passed 2 years prior. California changed it's laws. If your cat is not listed on the smog techs computers, you won't pass. Cats do wear over time and their effectiveness goes with it.
Do the OEM swap smog it and be done!
