i just got back home (well like 2 hrs ago)
my catalytic converter died on the way to the show, was over boosting, exhaust pressure was backing up like crazy. wanted to boost instantly.
i went to pass someone and the boost SPIKED extremely quickly, i saw 15 PSI and i let off ASAP. i freaked out. car ran like shit. replaced the spark plugs a while after i got to ASS, didn't fix it. decided the symptoms seemed like the cat (smelled like rotten eggs/raw fuel for quite a while now), went to a few auto places that wanted $200-500 for one installed, so Cliff and I went to autozone and got one for like $68 and had it welded up for $60, and it solved all my problems.
when the old cat was cut off like four chunks of stuff fell out of it lol, it was definitely bad.. got a 2.5" in/out universal kitty for the future exhaust upgrade
