Default Need a definitive answer on this...

Alright, so I have code P0422 so I am assuming that my stock cat is going out and I am unsure of what to do. I have read everywhere and people are saying that I will not get a CEL with a Labree HFC and appropriate non-foulers. My thing is I need to get the car inspected by the end of the month and it needs to pass a plug in emissions test in MA. Now, I thought with no CEL on and systems ready I should pass right? But I have been reading about people still getting a DTS code, but no CEL, will I still pass with this DTS? I just don't want to get one and then be stuck. Other option is a cat from ECS, are these cats decent? Ohh and I emailed Labree twice and they have not gotten back to me, I haven't had a chance to call as I am at work all day and can't really call. Ohh and the car is a 1.8t Quattro 2000

Thanks,
Bill

Alright, cool, that is good to hear, not sure if it is a ATW, I just got it and haven't taken off the cover yet. Hopefully I will get a chance to this weekend, did the 2000 generally come with ATW motors?

Thanks,
Bill
