I'm sure you need new cats. They don't last forever. I actually picked up HP cause mine were cloged up with years of crap. Another thing, you could be running too rich. You could disconnect one of your fuel injectors just before you pull into the testing bay. Or try adding denatured alchol to your gas tank, add 1 quart to every 3 gallons of gas. They sell it at Home Depot in 1 gallon cans.

P.S. Random Tech Cats suck! They won't out flow a stock cat.
