You should get the car fully heated up first since you have a y-pipe. The precats in the stock y-pipe would make it all good, but since you don't have them (who does here right ) you need to have the main cat up to temp.

If you had failed due to hydrocarbons go back and take off your air filter before you do. It will solve the problem. For some reason it **** the hydrocarbon levels
