ESPECIALLY in texas, heres my suggestion, do what I did, throw some steel wool in the bung, clear the code, wait and see if it comes back, 99% of the time it wont.

Anyone taken note of whether the steel wool filter / bung extender trick works better forthe '09's?

So far I've noticed that no one with a '10 seems to be able to keep the CEL light off -- wondering if there was a slight update in the ECU logic for cat efficiency...?
