Solution for P0420 on Kleemann cat
I googled P0420, then came across a subaru forum and saw how they solve the P0420 issue with Spark Plug Non-Foulers. Basically, they just pull the post-cat sensor out of the exhaust stream which trick the computer into thinking that the cat efficiency is okay. I'm tired of erasing P0420 every week, so I decided to give it a try. Plus, it only costs a few bucks...won't hurt if it doesn't work.
All you need is a Dorman 42002 Spark Plug Non-Foulers. Drill a half inch hole on one of them then screw them together...the big hole on top and small hole on the bottom. Put a little bit of anti-seize on the threads then install them between the post-cat port and the sensor. Done!
I've had them on for over a month now, and so far so good. No CEL, no pending code. I attached the comparison charts for you to see, it definitely lower the voltage reading from the post-cat sensor.

This is what I used when I had my Jetta and a high flow cat.

Worked fantastic. It basically does the exact same thing, moves the sensor out of the exhaust stream
