Default a couple questions

1) If your clutch pedal just does not put any resistance and sticks to the floor, what is this an indication of?

2) Does a high flow cat affect emissions?

1) loss of pressure. check clutch fluid???

2) yes. a high flow cat is usually just a straight piece of metal. a cat has a bunch of minerals inside of it (shaped like a honey comb) that filters out emmissions. without it, you have a problem with polution.

a high flow cat is not just a straight pipe. A high flow cat is exactly what it sounds like, a catalytic converter designes to flow a little better. A test pipe is just a straight piece of pipe that fits in where the cat was. Straight pipe = illegal high-flow cat is legal.

like elkins said check your fluid level. if it is low/gone fill it up. if it empties again check all of your drain valves. you may have a loose one. hopefully it is not a ruptured line.

could be a leak in the clutch line, i'm going through that right now, havent had time to get it checked out, but check your clutch resevior (right next to your brake resivior) and make sure there's plenty of brake fluid in it, and if there isnt, then put some in it, pump the clutch about 50 times and bleed the clutch line, sooner or later you'll need to get it checked out, i hope this answered your question
