  • CATCO is clogged

    Just want to add myself to the list of people who do not recommend a CATCO as it is already clogged after 4-5 months.

    When I bought it I hadn't read the posts about the Catco clogging. I read them after I bought it and had it installed. I was hoping those were just flukes, but to no avail. My clogged catco is getting replaced tomorrow with a Carsound.

    Going on 2 years now with my catco. Had the heatshield start to rattle about a month ago, but no other problems.

      Doh! I have to rescind my statement. My cat wasn't clogged, some clamp on my exhaust came disconnected which made it sound like a clogged cat and hurt my performance.

      Oh well, can't be smart all the time [img]smile.gif[/img]

        thats good. I have a 5 year warranty on my catco so when it dies (and it will) i get a new one.

          If the cat was clogged you'd beable to drive your car but you'd be going very very slow. Almost to the point of not getting over 10mph in severe cases. I had a peice logged at the opening of mine before. IMO, catco makes a cheap cat and I also think it sounds like crap. The carsound is a lot more higher flowing and sounds a lot more beefier.

            Yeah, I still have the carsound. I will probably put it on eventually. Everyone says good things about them. I have seen good things about them on other forums as well.
