Just replaced my cat and it made a huge difference in power. It was not expensive and just makes sense.

The way I test them is with an IR thermometer. Drive around for a while so everything is fully warmed up before testing. If the cat is working the pipe should be hotter on the outlet of the cat, if the outlet is about the same temp it's probably dead, if the outlet is colder it's dead and clogged.

I saw that and it was a very very good suggestion. When it comes to Safety or Emission related items you should probably always check for a recall first.


I bookmarked the link. thanks!

who cares if it's illegal. This America, wr csn do what we want to our property as long it don't hurt no one. Until they ban all vapes and cigs and fossil fuels don't talk about environmental crap. Just give advice rather then be a coward.

yall are such cowards. Shut the f$@% up about rules, nobody gives a damn. We just love our vehicles and no state or gov or a stupid forum will tell us otherwise. Go to bed boomer, too much wheel of fortune for today

I'm guessing it won't be long before they're removed. And being that his only two posts made were to start crap maybe he'll be removed.

Lol that was weird getting notifications from this 7 years later.

For any still interested, I think I did end up just replacing the cat. Can’t remember though as I sold the Cherokee not long after that post.
