When I lived in the Chicago suburbs, the emissions letter they mailed
explicitly said not to test with a cold engine, and to let your car warm up
for at least 20 minutes. Of course, in Chicago traffic, it usually took at
least 20 minutes to get anywhere.

High NOX is usually an indicator of an EGR valve not fucntioning, plugged
egr passages or timing too advanced. The CAT does in fact have to be
functioning properly to burn NOX too. I am unfamiliar with what the kit does
with either existing EGR if any. high nox can also theoretically occur if
the engine is overheating ( although unlikely).

There is no EGR with the Mopar Kit, its eliminated. Timing is permantely set
and can't be changed either.
I'm taking it back to my mechanic for a final work up will keep ya'll
informed.
thanx

Just for our info, what was this kit installed on? What was the age &
mileage of the engine?
