Certainly don't want to compromise your integrity over it.

The new ECUs will test the cat by driving it very lean then driving it rich and see how long it takes to saturate the cat. If the aftermarket one has less capacity it will not pass the test and you are left with an insufficient cat efficacy code. Might as well just put in a test pipe.
Not worried about my integrity. They don't test the cars here. It's just you have to live with inferior machinery or spend the high priced OEM money. The aftermarket company may guarantee the converter to pass but when it doesn't then you get into the swap and ship hassles.
