They're 2 stage airbags, they deploy depending on speed and impact.

OK. Knock sensor may be bad. Or your spark plugs are toast. What type of fuel you using? The knock sensor is right under the intake manifold on top of starter. Looks like a black spacer plug

420 9 times out of 10....you need a new catalytic converter.
Price em out at auto zone and advance auto. I'm sure they aren't expensive. I paid like 20$ for a chevy venture knock sensor before.

Don't think so. They last about 100k miles or more. Sometimes less depending on maintenance

You can pickup a used stock SS supercharged downpipe for cheap enough.
