Mine has been loose before and never had that problem. Just a little down on boost and power as mentioned above.See how you go Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78652-what-would-a-cracked-manifold-do/page/2/#findComment-1185476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to check the cat then tighten and replace bolts then see how we go hopefully it's nothing to bad.

Car struggles to run sounds like I have blocked up the only exit point for the exhaust! So off is coming the cat!It's an x force cat would I have toReplace with an identical cat so no retune is needed!
