Gargling issues
Hey guys,
I have a 2004 Rx8 with 106,000 miles in the beast, Engine is new with only 10,000 miles on her. Has Greddy exhaust and Racing beat intake and duct. Issue is once car is driven for say 30 mins to warm her up any time i go to floor it and it passes 4 RPMs it starts to cut back (power loss) and make a raspy gargling sounds. Then if i put it in neutral while driving and take it to 8 rpm a few times it clears up until i put it back and gear and try going again, Any ideas? I was thinking maybe it was the Catalytic converter getting clogged but unsure. Any ideas would be much appreciated Thanks guys!!!!

I've the same issue too. The gargling noise comes after 7rpm in 2nd gear, 6rpm in 3rd gear and can't seem to get pass it. I can only get rid of it if i redlind it slowly for a few times. do u manage to solve this permanently? I have re-amemiya header, amuse catback exhaust, and HKS racing suction.
Is it better to get the hiflow catalytic converter? Is it making any faster?
