P0430 w/ True Duals, Still Warrantied?

**bryceslu** · 10-30-2008, 05:18 AM

I tripped SES code P0430 and from what I understand this is the passenger side cat and this is covered under GM warranty for 10y/120K miles for my 2000 Formula.

My question is if I am still covered becuase I have True Duals and still have cats. I have no idea if they are stock location or OEM cats but they are located basically off each stock header on the part that slants down. They end before the piping levels off, which is then welded into true duals all the way back.

Would a GM dealership still replace my passenger side cat under the warranty? I have 99K on the clock and its a '00 Formula.

Thanks

Probably not since you modified that one single piece.

The problem is that I dont know what stock looks like. I was able to see under my car yesterday while it was on a lift...but wouldnt know if its stock or not up to the true duals.

I went today and even though mine had been replaced I got them to replace under TSB 05513, but only one as far as I know (pass (430)) which will now be a pest in my mind as I think they should do both, still had to go through spiel with them but it is on order 109K, cost was like 880 if u pay
