ECOTEC loss of power????
Monday, March 27, 2006 6:09 AM
OK here is the deal... I have bags on my car... riding low smack the living hell out of a couple of reflectors , didn't really notice anything. Yesterday it seemed like my car was not as loud as it normally is (loud exhaust), didn't think anything of it. This morning I'm on my way to work on the interstate and go to romp on it and its like a 84 Honda Civic slow and I can here my motor over the exhaust (VERY WEIRD). I stop by the store, raise my car and take a peek and there is a BIG A$$ dent in my cat (reflectors ) so I'm thinking my I beat the hell out of my cat and it caved in clogging my exhaust. What do you guys think????

redecocav,
I agree with the above responses and urge you to replace your converter immediately. Clogged exhaust like this can cause some serious engine damage to include burndt valves, overheating which leads to a whole bunch more mess.
See YA!
