Steve O Member 106 Member For: 13y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: Sydneys Northern Beaches Posted 28/06/11 04:29 AM Share Posted 28/06/11 04:29 AM My car was hitting a wall after 4k rpm and a couple of forum members sugested it may be a blocked cat. After going to my exhaust joint he said theonly way we could really tell is by putting a working cat on and seeing if it keeps happening.After getting quoted $1000 + taxes by fraud for a stock cat I looked around for one with no avail. Are there any companies that make a cat with the same cpsi (400?) as stock as I've got the T5 box so cant really mod high enough to justify the $$$ for a dyno tuneThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys I took it too simply said a heat test (front of cat) was all that was required - and said no, definately not cat. It turned out to be a collapsed rear muffler as I changed that and all good. Only cost me $20 for the guys to check my cat for potential blockage? I got my new rear exhaust set-up elsewhere. So I would shop around......I was the same as you as I didn't want to spend $$ to tune either. Edited 28/06/11 05:10 AM by CBXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why the guy I took it to didnt think of a heat test I'll ring around the exhaust joints and ask. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
