They shouldn't have to cut anything to inspect the cat, just unbolt things.

A previous bad experience is to blame for that. Different dealer though.

The dealer believes it is the honeycomb from the Cat. However, I don't have any way to get home so I've got to take the car home.

My thought is that there would be a CEL from this. Can anyone chime in?

Ultimately when it is fully clogged you will get a cell

When you stomp on it what kind of boost numbers are you getting? If you have a restricted cat it's going to hurt boost.

I haven't really mashed it in yet, but 15 seems to be the highest it goes.

The Western Tune has served me well for a number of years. I have to chime in on technical expertise of this board... If its been done or thought of being done to a Kappa platform car, most likely you'll find about a dozen people who have already done it to their car !!! Good luck with your new car and have much fun as we all do !!!

Is it a manual or automatic?

I've seen 18 on mine, its a manual bone stock, usually I'm seeing about 16 give or take. Northern Hellinois isn't much different than central Hellinois climate/elevation wise so yours might not be off.

If its a ticking noise you really need to make sure it's not the fuel pump that you are hearing, GM actually has a service bulletin because people were bringing their cars in complaining about the noise.

Its not the fuel pump, I looked into that and it sounds roughly the same as the one on my Mazdaspeed3.

also, Manual. I wouldn't drive an Automatic unless it was like a GTR or something.

Another lover of slower cars....

Nah, I just feel more awake with the manual- i'm more focused on the road too.

Dream20b · « **Reply #36 on:** May 11, 2013, 12:43:37 PM »

Car holds 15 psi for maybe a second. then drops to around 13.

Boost won't go up too much more on a stock car, the system has programming that limits torque and boost, that is why a tune is needed. Street race is quite loud. Not sure if you want your car to sound like an out board motor from a boat. It's even louder with a high flow cat. My son put resonators on his to tone it down.

If the dealer found your stock cat bad, he should have replaced it for free.

Dream20b · « **Reply #38 on:** May 11, 2013, 07:17:03 PM »

we don't know for sure its the cat, that's just what they think, i had to leave the dealership since its almost an hour from my house and i couldn't get a ride home.

Dream20b · « **Reply #39 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:54:03 PM »

I have good news. The piece in the exhaust is nothing more than a nut. Got it out today. No more noise.

Sly Bob · « **Reply #40 on:** May 13, 2013, 05:54:33 PM »

Wonder how that got in there. Great news though, glad you got to the bottom of it.

Critterman · « **Reply #41 on:** May 13, 2013, 06:40:58 PM »

Interesting.

Dream20b · « **Reply #42 on:** May 13, 2013, 06:49:41 PM »

yep, I thought it would be a baffle.

POS VETT · « **Reply #43 on:** May 13, 2013, 09:25:32 PM »

Hmm, that gave me an idea ...

Don't even think about doing that to Critter's car at the next mod meet, GJ and I already called it.

Don't make me ask Ivy if that's true, we all know how she can't keep a secret.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #47 on:** May 13, 2013, 09:47:46 PM »

Make sure it is t from the turbo. Someone on here had a turbo come apart!!!

Critterman · « **Reply #48 on:** May 14, 2013, 05:05:47 PM »
