I know the cat was clogged cat but I can't remeber what else was wrong maybe the divertor valve. I remember it had multiple problems.

another +1 for the cats being clogged! ...could be anything, perhaps leaded race fuel was in the car at one time! ...just change the h-pipe and you'll be good to go!

Nice looking Coupe!

I think you should take to a shop and checked out, as I said earlier you may have something else wrong other than a clogged cat.

I just skimmed thru this but are you running the stock h pipe with that? I would just cut the pipe off after the cat that is glowing (do both sides) and take a breaker bar (or equivalent) and bust out the cat, start it up and blow all the stuff out and see how it runs. If you have a clogged cat your car should run like crap at the same time.
