Converter starting to clog?

[elderon]

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.

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.

To loud? NO way. Just put a resinator on there. I love mine.

or you can buy my stock cat from a 2001 with 15,000 on it for $20 plus shipping

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.
