Blown 346 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Cats are known to cause power loss, smell bad and rattle when going south. I agree as well on the cats after hearing about power loss etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 It might be your cats, but regardless if they're not they're definitely going out if you say you hear some noise inside them. Keep us posted man I hope that's just the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Good time to mount them LT headers with high flow cats since your cats would have to be removed anyways to install the headers plus upgrade that flat crossover pipe from the drivers side that comes stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ_978 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 will def keep yous guys posted! i already have headers in there, and since i have to cut cats out, they are going to stay out now gives me an excuse to put in electric cutouts and while im at it get rid of cowboy pipes and do dumps the exhaust is not stock, only thing that was stock was the cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiackid Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 ever figure out the issue? im having the same problem. cant figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ_978 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 hey guys, problems fixed, it was the cats, thanks all for the help, unbolted cats from headers and it stayed running and i was able to drive it, i had the cats hollowed out, its still running rough and skipping a bit, but i figured it was because the cats were taking out and once i get it retuned it would run smoother... hopefully, if it doesnt fix im going to have to look deeper into it... but the passanger side cat was clogged solid, and the drivers side was half way there... but it is now running and driving where i was not able to get the truck to move before... another plus is my trucks sounds way better without the cats haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Good deal, shoulda added a straight pipe instead of hollowing them out. Rear 02's still in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ_978 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Straight pipe is welded inside the cat, they also do a visual when they do the state inspection on it every year, and if someone were to just hollow the cat out and not put a pipe in, then it would sound droany and shitty, and no rear 02 sensors just the fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ok. That's the way I tell some guys around here to do it. Just weld some heat shields over the mid section, but it would only work as a visual if say a highway patrol were to look under neath the car. Here in Cali we got to do a smog, or pay up.
