So I had my cat changed today I thought those who have not done this would like to see what happens to your stock cat. Just a warning though after putting the magnaflow high flow cat on I got pulled over for loud exhaust not more than 6 hours after installation First time stopped for loud exhaust in 2 years. I wish I would have known cats a warranted 8year or 80k miles before I bought one. But anyways here is my stock cat right after removal.

I guess nobody wants to see your fried cat

Thats sad cuz it's a pretty epic failure.

I like watching epic failures as long as they don't happen to me

Thats what mine looked like after using 2-step. 2-step and dense cats DON'T mix.

Did ur check engine light come on?
What were your symptoms from it?

boostedss26

His symtoms were lack of power, Real quiet exhaust, and a glowing red cat after a few mins of running. No cel

Sh0nuff

ah ok, i have no cel but ive gone from quiet exhaust to louder back to quiet and back to louder.
Lack of power and some studders around boosting.
also fuel cut feeling on and off sometimes.

can't say the cat glows red though...

resonator makes clicking sounds from start up while driving then stops about 2min after shutoff.
Even when it's hot outside u can tell the resonator is hot as ****..

does your exhaust smell horrible? if so that is another sign.

Sh0nuff

smells like chemicles...

also ruff idle and sounds like
run run run puff...run run run puff...
The hotter the engine gets the ruffer it runs as well so basicly the longer I have to idle the ruffer it gets.

silver06cobalt

replace the cat.. sounds to the t like mine was.

They dont glow if they arent clogged. some will go out and not be clogged

Sh0nuff

went to midas to check it cause its free and they said they wouldnt check cause the light wasnt on

silver06cobalt

WHAT!? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Go to autozone and they will run the code for you and tell you what it means.

Sh0nuff

i dont haave any cels though?

silver06cobalt

oh **** my bad.. I am an idiot.. I misread the your post.

Hmm.. I dunno man. Usually if they go they will throw a code. how long has it been like this? Cause if its only been just a little bit it may just be going out and hasnt burned up completely yet

Sh0nuff

5 months lol

boostedss26

His exhaust didn't smell like anything really. Usually they will get that sulfer smell but his didnt

silver06cobalt

Yea that is exactly what they smell like when they are out.. you will know for sure what I am talking about if it happens to you haha.
