Car possible intake problems
My car had three codes P0420 catalyst efficeny below threshold, P050A which from what i can find meant it had a bad cold startup and P0302 which is a misfire i brought it to the dealer and they said it was a bad catalytic converter? Which is fine if it is because its under warranty but how can the catalytic converter go so quickly car is all stock except for an K&n intake and is a 2007 with 17k miles could the K&N intake have made it go or are they wrong and something else is wrong?

I zoom therefore I am.
The cat going bad is something that can happen on the 8, like Easy said. Don't let the dealership try to blame anything else on the cat going bad... it should be replaced under warranty no ifs ands or buts.

they will be doing it regardless under warranty but im just wondering if the intake could of caused it and if i should take the intake off of the car and put the stock box back in with a K&N drop in? do love the sound of my intake thooo

Not really... I mean, the sensors are the same unless someone changed them out with the new intake... Also, I guess the intake could be poorly designed and the O2 sensors aren't reading what they're supposed to be which is causing the car to run rich which is causing the cat to get clogged up.
But the intake is just an air duct, the better the intake, the less the engine works to pull the air through the filter and bring it into the engine... I could be speaking out of turn, but I don't see how an intake could lead to failing O2 sensors.
