Re: Cat failure now loss of power

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

The loss of power is directly related to your bad cat...all of the
material in the bad one has clumped up and blocked the exit so that air
can't get through.  Drive as little as possible, and keep in a higher
gear if you can (less RPM's = less gas to force through a large clump of
whatever).
