I'm still wondering one thing, doesn't each bank have 2 cats (4 total for both banks?) The typical OBDII arangement was:

O2/AFR-->1st cat(usually in OEM manifold)--> 2nd O2/AFR-->2nd (downstream) cat

I was under the impression that the HFC replaces only the downstream cat (after the last sensor). So how would the sensor know whats going on further downstream? It should only be monitoring the upstream catalyst efficiency in theory.

Please tell me if I'm wrong here because I'm assuming this based on the late 90's OBDII cars I am familiar with.
