okay...i dont know what it is...i initially thought catalytic converter or exhaust. But here's my symptoms, just throw me some ideas
- Car smells like exhaust fumes - Bad gas mileage - Loud hissing sound when throttling - Between 3k-4k RPM's the car shudders and lurches a lot and I either have to keep the RPM's a little higher or a little lower. - Loss of power/torque GO! -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

QUOTE (Akimbo @ May 14, 2009 - 11:36 AM)  did you ever find a fix? The week after next I'll be doing the timing belt and header to delete the cat. Hopefully that will take care of it. It seems to be consistently worse with the car warmed up - especially on hotter days... and that cat is getting really hot really fast - while leaving the rest of the exhaust relatively cool. I'm running now just a resonator (no muffler) with 2.25" piping and its just slightly louder than stock. It doesn't "feel" very free flowing at all... If the manifold/cat wasn't such a rusty nightmare I'd gut it out - but IMO its worth swapping for the ebay header since its not very expensive anyway. |
