<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (hyper25 @ Dec 30 2005, 08:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I had something similar to this on another customers tiburon he ran leaded race gas and it caused the cat to come apart and clog up the exhaust. Upper rpms sucked car could barely go over 50 up a hill. Replaced the lower cat with a high flow and did an obx header and cured all the problem plus ran better then before. Just an option to check its only a few bolts to drop the lower cat if you have one.</div>

This seemed to be the problem. I took out the stock cat today, shook it around and could hear stuff moving around. Turned it upside down and pieces of the cat started falling out. I must have gotten a bad tank of gas somewhere because I've never ran leaded gas. Pics:





I installed My SSA headers and Apexi exhaust I had laying around. Now my car runs like it has a pair again fing02.gif Thanks for the input.

No, I'm giving it to my mom when I move to California in May. I still use it to drive to work and school though.
