Default Found my problem...Finally!!!

Well I was running out of ideas and I had done about everything that everyone on here suggested. So I decided to pull off my exhaust and fired up my truck with just the cats and intermediate pipes and felt basically no exhaust flow out of the driver's side and very little out of the passenger's side pipe.


Damn cats were plugged up with the driver's side cat being plugged solid, pretty crazy considering that my truck only has about 50k miles on it. I had suspected that it might have been the cats, I wish I would had checked them out 2 days ago.


I am sure glad that is all that it was.

Hate to say I told you so..... but I did. At least it wasnt as bad as what you were thinking. Like I said, that is the exact same thing that happened to me in my old Z28.

Get them replaced under the GM warranty first. The emissions components have like 80K mile warranty. Once you get the new parts for free, then make a change to catless. At some point in the future you'll want that stock exhaust.
