Hello all. Ive started noticing that rotten egg smell which Im pretty sure is my catalytic converter starting to get worn and plugged. Cars performance seems about the same, maybe a tad more sluggish. Anyways im wondering what to do from here. I am looking for of course more power. Should I hollow out the converter thats there, or replace it with a low restriction converter? My setup is listed in my signature. Thanks as always for the advice.

Well the decision is ultimitely up to you..Personally, I'd go for the new high flow cat..
I think if if you hollow your current one out or do away with a cat completely, you'll have to buy O2 Sims to replace the O2 Sensors...and that's more money right there...although i think that O2 sims are only about $30-$50 depending on where you get them.1997 Camaro RS A4 <br />3.08 Rear<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/470169\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/470169</a><p>Mods:<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Flowmaster 80 Series Muffler <br />MSD Ignition Coils<p>Soon to be installed:<br />3.42 Gears<br />MSD Plug Wires -

in my opinion get a hi-flow, if you dont have headers. i have headers and no cat...ITS TOO LOUD! so im gonna probably buy a carsound cat or something, i had a catco, but it melted under the heat after i installed the headers, so i cant really recomend them.later,<br />alan<br />1999 bright red v6<br />3800 series III<br />208\\210 comp cam<br />3000 stall edge tcComment

I would just hollow it out. After about 2 weeks with it hollowd the rasp will stop and it will just be louder. Im pretty sure that the 95's dont have a 02 sensor after the cat.Comment
