turning off O2 engine light errors

i keep getting P0420 and P0430 errors and i don't have leaks in my exhaust system. its cause my cats are pretty much nonexistant with my aftermarket exhaust. i clear it every time it comes on with my superchips flashpaq, and it usually stays gone a few days at a time. every time it comes on though i check it just to make sure thats what it is and not a diff more serious engine code this time. what is the cheapest and easiest way to "turn off" those 2 codes from popping back up? that way, when the c/e light comes on, i know right away that it's an ACTUAL problem?

Can't you do it with your handheld? If not, the cheapest way to do it is to find someone with EFIlive or HPTuners in your area and have them tune it out.

A professional tune would also eliminate the problem. While you’re at it put her on the Dyno and see what your numbers are…

I don't know off hand....But Tonight I'll send a message to the superchips forum/tech guy with your error codes and he will tell me how to do it. It is probally in the book, but I'll send superchips a message and get back to ya. So hold on before you do anything.

I had some exhaust work done, resonator delete and super 44 mufflers installed and some other mods and never had a code come on yet. Knock on wood. Ill get right back to ya.
