I wanted to get a metal substrate, but I've read about too many CEL issues, I figured ceramic will be the way to go. I'd hate to have my car smelling like bad exhaust and having issues passing CARB smog checks.

Smells as clean as OEM.

metallic cats.. slight rasp when cold.. maybe lasts 2-3 mins? change your OEM gaskets to NISMO gaskets if you are using nismo exhaust. Reduces rasp. I've had these on since beginning of 08. January I believe. Next up, motordyne XYZ pipe. No more rasp w/ that built in resonator on that xyz pipe. I believe at that point I will have pure audible bliss..

I want to hear some sound clips though w/ and w/o that built-in resonator. ginobutterfly and Tony @ MD said they will post sound clips of both setups.

I was getting these:
P0420: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
P0430: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)
You're getting these:
P2A00 O2 Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank1 Sensor1)
P2A03 O2 Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank2 Sensor1)
Not sure what's causing yours...
Did you check for exhaust leaks around the HFCs? When I installed my FI HFCs, I was getting a leak because the new ring gaskets supplied by FI weren't seating properly causing them not to crush as intended. I spoke to Tony from FI and he suggested I reuse the gaskets that came with the OEM CATs. That solved my leak.
