That's what I think killed mine.

Unfortunately you didn't get as lucky as I did.

Some under the hood pics because I don't have enough of these.

Looking for some ideas to spruce things up a bit.

Both Cats were completely clean inside..

This was lodged in the X-pipe totally blocking flow to one side. The other one made it out the tail pipe.

Rear O2 sensors melted as well. Road track carnage for sure.

Made some dyno pulls and it's a bit rich in the 5k range so some tweaks will be made later but all good news and back on the road again.

And freaking loud as hell without Cats..

I had the exact same thing happen at VIR with high flow cats. No cats are best! My cat media shifted rearward and smashed the rear 02 sensors also.

Yup... just leaves a nice spot for wide band now.

*mlee* · 09-20-2014, 06:46 AM

Finally finished... for now

Got a little tweak from Matt @ FSP after the cat removal.

Good to go..

I'm with you. I don't like cats. Dogs I like. Delete the damn cats.

So how is life treating you without the cats?

I've decided it's just too loud for me - think I will enjoy the car a bit more if I tame it down a bit - so going to look into resonators.

Did you say you knew of some that would fit for us using the corsa?

Well I agree with you 100% now and I'll probably do the same at some point. It's just like having straight pipes now, however I do really like the sound on the track and we have another date set end of next month so no changes for me at the moment.

ADM put Magnaflow resonators on one of their cars. It may just be a cut and weld to make them fit with Corsa, not sure. Here is the build thread. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=372952
