Great end to my night!

I was on my way to a buddies house when all of the sudden my car started to stutter badly.
Codes:
- P0301 Cylinder 1 misfire detected
- P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency below threshold (Bank 1)

currently can't drive the car over 10mph without it misfiring. So this is great! Have to wait until Monday for the dealership to check it out. :-)

Catalyst... downpipe, i think they may say that caused it.

Got any advice for how I could argue that? I don't think a downpipe could cause a drivetrain malfunction..?

I don't know, but if you're still under warranty, I would definitely take these three things off before heading to the dealer: AFE Intake / JB4 / ER Downpipe

Pop the cover off the top of the engine and switch coil #1 and coil #2. If the misfire follows the coil replace it. Dealer adverted....

Did you remove the performance mods before going to the dealer?
