does it get red when your car is running? the cat internals deteriorate and it clogs itself. if you take it off and black chunks fall out then it's no good.

i have a bad one at my shop if you want to see an example.

it should also throw a cel.

With a clogged glowing red cat the Egt are huge, so the water jacket/seal goes out on the exhaust side.

Sound like fun guys, wishing I was closer
