stock cat

bclipse96 · 01-02-2004, 12:54 PM

When I got my cat back exhaust put on my car a few months back the guy that did it for me asked if I wanted him to just put some straight pipe in to replace the cat. I said sure and he did so but later on I noticed how bad the fumes smell now on my car and I want to go back to a stock cat. So i guess what I am asking is where can I get a stock cat since he threw mine away. If any of you have one that you replace I would be happy to take it off of your hands.

your spark plugs could be one thing,o2 sensor maybe, it was just a maybe, your car just might smell different then what mine does or maybe whats stinky to you isnt stinky to me

it just smell like really bad exhaust fumes. the only reason I think it is the cat being gone is because i didnt have a problem before and the guy at the exhaust shop even said that it may smell a little.

i dont think its a big deal, alot of people run with no cat, i cant even smell a difference from cars with a cat. but what i do know is that if you run rich with no cat it stinks like a dead animal with gas poored all over it in the hot sun. but maybe my nose is just funny

my friend has a gst, and he took his cat out too, and it smells REALLY bad.. almost like poo.. or geese poo.. but the smell is deff. coming because you dont have a cat. I would go to a junk yard or find a cat. soon, b/c my freind's car smells really bad.

hey guys

i also replaced my cat and it smells horrible. I didnt really think you run rich by just replacing a hiflo cat. Also idk how long youve had your straight pipe on but the check engine light might come on. Mine did, its because theres a sensor that plugs into the cat and i just left that disconnected because there was no place to plug it in on my car.

Also....

could i have put the cat on backwards???? would this effect anything
