  • Catco Woes...

    Yesterday I got my second SES light in about 5 months and today I miserably failed my emissions test with the Catco. Ended up removing the Catco and installing a Carsound converter. The Carsound passed with flying colours. Another thing I noticed is that my exhaust gurgles less and is less raspy – maybe it’s all in my head or perhaps the lack of backpressure the Catco created resulted in the raspy tone.

    Two thumbs up for Carsound!

    Probably just needs to burn in. Once it burns in, I would expect the sound to change a little.

          I guess Canada does a smog test on all the cars there? I know down here for OBD2 cars you just can't have any SES codes and you'll pass. Unfortunatley, I did, so i just reset my PCM long enough to get through inspection. LOL
