Get a Turbo!
High Flow Cats+Brillo Pad=No SES Light for 1700 miles and counting!
Im Not The Only One...So Im Glad Your going to wait till....................................................
Whenever someone does it the "RIGHT" way instead of just buying some $.99 cent Brillo Pad and stuffing it in between the sensor and non-foulers,and swallowing your pride for one sacrafice.
UPDATE: I've been had a cel light on for long time. After reading this thread, I pumped a full take of Shell gas a week ago. Today, I reached almost empty tank and guess what, my CEL LIGHT is GONE! I went back to Shell and pumped another tank of 93. I will update if I get CEL light again. I guess no more Chevron...
My light has been off again since I been back with Shell. I noticed the Chevron stations show Ethanol 10%, and the Shell's do not. I wonder if it's because of that?
This time I put the wool in my non-foulers as well.

Now there gas is Nitrogen enriched as well another cleaning agent
Solo - I agree with your reasoning its the crappy ethanol blend. Just another reason to avoid the next big scam.Ethanol.
lol, i love how a little light can bother so many people when all intents and purposes, it does nothing to effect performance of the cars some people are wanting to sell their cars because of this little light, lulz.

Mother F!@#$* OPEC
It is true at all the Shell gas stations around my house. They do not say 10% ethanol like the Chevrons do.
Actually when my cars light comes on it does effect the performance. It doesn't run as good and I get crappier gas mileage.
I don't understand why you can't comprehend this. You wouldn't expect it to pass emissions when it will with HFCs from Berk, but when you are cleaning the gases less than you were stock and it is causing the readings to no longer be in the tolerable range the ECU has set, then it WILL throw a code.
There will NEVER be one when you mess with HFCs or Downpipes. Till you understand that messing with the exhaust and removing the cats or putting higher flow ones that clean less, you can't get away from this.

There is no such thing as having Test Pipes that will not cause the light to come on. HFC you got a better chance of it not happening.
UPREV said they can fix it, but unsure on the others.

ITs all in your head buddy. Code 420 doesnt affect performance in ANY car. It is just an indicator that shows if the CAT is working properly or not.
