Problem With Free-Flow Converter

Listen, here is my problem. I just installed a free-flowing converter on my 1998 Honda Civic EX. I have a cat back PaceSetter exhaust. Until I installed the free-flow converter, everything was fine. But when I installed the new free-flow converter, it tripped a code to the CPU. What I am wondering is, what can I do to get the CPU to not throw a code. I do know now that there is not enough back pressure to the engine. Hope someone can help me on this one. Thanks

backpressure won't trip a code...

you're either running too rich or the cat is not doing as good a job as the stock one was...

the simulater is just about all you can do... but I'd:

1. check the code to MAKE SURE it's the o2 and not some other code un-associated.

2. Call the manufacturer of the cat and tell them you're tripping a code with their cat.

3. If they give you a replacement try that one... if it continues get your money back and get another company's.
