I got a new cat put on today and was hoping for more power but it isnt as much as I expected. My temp gauge still goes up a bit and there isnt a hole lot of power still. I was looking at my exhaust under my car when I noticed theirs the cat thats kind of towards the front of the car but then theres another one that looks like a cat thats kind of in the middle. I was wondering what that is because if that is clogged too then maybe I should get it fixed also. It looks like another cat but Im not sure.

 

what kind of exhaust is it? if it's OEM or a quality after market it would probly be your resonator. post a pic of it. why'd you replace your cat in the first place?

 

the other peice could be the resenator or it can be a cherry bomb

 

You replaced the cat because the temp gauge was elevated?

Sounds like the thermostat or lack of water. Or maybe a leak?

 

I've never heard of anyone replacing a Cat because their car was running hot.

or a blown head gasket.

 

my ef cat broke and got stuck in the b pipe major lag and temp went up just a bit and wont always start. so with help from a nice crow bar and rubber mallet wind up with a home made super high flow cat lolz
