same story with snoochies car except the backfires aren't too loud...is spits a little fire now though

what trips me out is with NO cat, it's still not turning the check engine light on for catalyst efficiency.

i recently took my 8 in for the recall, and had them check out my car as my fuel economy took a nose dive, plus i had gotten the p0420 catalyst efficiency code about 2 weeks previously, and after speaking with my service writer, reset it. it never came back in 2 weeks and 1000 miles.

see here to see what my cat looked like when it came off the car
