Help passing the new PA emissions inspection

I recently took my '01 civic to be inspected, which in pennsylvania now includes a new emissions test. My Ex failed due to an inconsistent reading coming from the O2 sensor that was in the catalayic convertor, and one that used to exist in the OEM b pipe. Now i'm in a real bind because i don't want to take my car back to stock, not to mention to put on the passing oem new parts would run close to fifteen hundred, which is absolutely rediculous in my opinion. So if anyone knows of any solutions to get me through this inspection with a little more money in my pocket i'd appreciate it

Titleist71 can only hope to improve
find a friend or make a friend who has a garage and will pass your car. PA is a biotch state for inspections.....isn't it true if you have some body rust it'll fail?
