Emissions Failure/How many Cats
Ok I looked at some other posts before making this post so to my problem I recently just had a universal high flow magnaflow cat put on and went through emissions and failed, I fear the car may be running a little rich which I may take care of but my numbers were really bad so I was wondering if maybe I need more then one cat on this car? I am not sure how many it has stock for when I got the car it had a welded straight pipe in replacement, anyways here are my emission numbers
HC(PPM)
Limit: 79
Me: 274
CO (%)
Limit:0.42
Me:8.95
I do plan on getting the car tuned up before i re-test but should I also put on another cat or do my problems lay elsewhere?

Your high HC and CO is probably due to pig richness or incomplete combustion...when'* the last time the O2 sensor was replaced? How are your plugs and wires? How'* your cylinder compression?
If you don't get that HC emission under control, it will kill the cat quickly.
