Default Cat Question

If my cat is getting blocked up how is the car going to act when driving? I am getting a little hesitation at low RMP's and have fully tuned her up....


Thanx

if the cat is clotted, you can feel the heat if you put your finger down the shifter, that thing will turn orange in no time

have someone step on the gas and have someone "feel" the exhasut flow

Your going to get crappy gas mileage. And you will have some hesitation.

Unless it's 100% clogged, you will NOT notice any difference at low rpms. A partially clogged converter will act as if you were asking your exhaust to pass thru a 1" Briggs & Stratton lawnmower muffler. There would be an increasing loss of power as the rpms' rose, typically not rising over 4000rpm; as the converter could not pass any more volume.

You get 20mpg. That good, that good compared to 10mpg on my Tahoe.
