Good info as i did not even think of that (as far as the ic getting cloged up)
and may be bennefictial of me knowing since i may be ic'ed soon :th_mischievious:
when you idle the cat gets hotter (you tend to run a bit richer, and they were designed to have airflow) that is what they always told us in the tech classes, and even when I went to independent shops the muffler reps all said the same (walker claimed over 75% of failures were due to letting the car sit and idle)Quote:

The converter hardly does anything while idling, in fact the emissions are through the roof when idling. The best way to warm up a catalytic converter is to drive the vehicle.
I don't know....like I said, I was just curious.
I have seen cats glow, but can't say for sure they were fine before the "test"Quote:

Correct me if im wrong but dont you still have 5 other cylinders running through the cat. the egr valve is only on the cylinder number 6 right? it just dosnt seem like the pressure from the other exhaust ports will travel up against the pressure of number six since it looks for the esiest way out.. but i am running no cat so less backpressure with that and headersQuote:

Nick you would not BELIEVE how many people insist it is real..... Right up until I can tell them how to check..,Quote:

People need to research.
What was the purpose of reviving this old thing???
Get headers, install IC, remove EGR, re-tune... winning.
