I recently had a CEL light come on my 04 Titan and had it checked out by Auto Zone. It shows the CAT1 and CAT2 failure. My Titan has 310,000 miles and still purs like a kitty cat. I believe I can put another 100k with no problems. I took my truck over to MIDAS and he said it could be anywhere from 1k to 2k to fix. He did not think he would be able to put on after market manifolds and CATs like PACESETTER which I found on Amazon for around 450.00 total including gaskets. I just don't want to sink 2k into this baby even though i love her so much. I also asked the manager at MIDAS if he had heard about the C02 adapters that once installed will keep the CEL from coming back on. Is this worth a try? He said to my surprise "sure no problem, buy them and I'll install them". I would just be tickled if I could fix this with those adapters. My Texas inspection sticker is out and I need to get this fixed ASAP. Hope I explained enough about my issue to get some good feedback. Never have posted here before and I was able to reset the CEL light using tips from this forum however, it came back on about 20 miles down the road. Thanks all!:big_grin:

You have cracked manifolds or destroyed cats. I would contact Cajun and start there because just making the CEL go away isn't going to fix the problem. I would just contact Jeff at the provided URL and let him help you out. You most likely have a set of headers in your future which is going to be a lot less than having someone that isn't used to working on a Titan just "fix" it. cajunbpipes.com
You can use plug defouler to get rid of the code but it will not fix your cracked maifolds/bad cats problem.
I had the P0420 code and use the defouler to get rid of the code. Been a few years and it hasn't came back.

There are a few guys in Tx that may be able to help you actually. I'm sure one of them will chime in. Jeff is set up here in Shreveport, so even shipping stuff to you it should get there quick. Honestly, I would stay start looking into places that will install headers.
I have the same problem on my 05, just picked it up from my mechanic and it is the front cat. Said it looks like on mine the cat can be cut out and a new one welded back in just need to find a muffler shop that will do the work.
If it's the secondaries just get a set of b pipes and call it a day. you can fix that in your drive way. Cajun has them, PRT, or find someone with a set of stockers that they are trying to get rid of. Hell, my stock b pipes are in the bed of my truck :lol:
Dude, DFW is packed with members. I'm sure someone will help you which will cut out the labor pricing. That's a good place to be if you need help for sure.
You can do it yourself. If you have a drill and the drill bits. The defouler is aluminum so it's very soft and easy to drill. I held it with a vise grip and drilled it out.
PaPro it is the front converter, had already thought about replacing the rear, but since My son starts college in a couple of weeks and I just laid out 3k to ULL I was hoping for a little bit less expensive fix.
jgreen - not sure of the cost just found out yesterday need to get with a muffler shop and see how much, will post when I find out.
