ill feel better when the car is doing what it should for now im troubleshooting not making excuses. like yesterday i did some testing with a lazer temp gun and heres my results...
the temp at the manifolds was around 280 and the cats were 260 well after the cats the pipe going into the y pipe 3 inches after the cat was only 200 degrees, how is it possible to lose 60 degress within 3 inches? its not unless there is a clog, also i checked the intermediate pipe going into the muffler and it was 150 yet the outlet pipe right next to it was only 130 again how can pipes that are less than 3 inches aprt lose 20 degrees between them? so that leads me to believe there is also some kind of clog in the muffler....
