Clogged cats with forced induction?
#21
I currently have a stock exhaust except for the Corsa's but I'm planning on going cat-less in the very near future. My GT is my daily and while I wouldn't mind dropping the $$ on a built shortblock, I don't have the luxury of a backup car for the time the GT would be down.
I'm hoping to install a cat-less xpipe in the coming weeks... cats scare me.

Going to try and pull my cats out tomorrow to inspect. I'm seeing 15-16% LTFT on both banks under slight throttle. I don't remember it being that high and the car feels a little sluggish in closed loop. It still feels like I have full power at WOT though. With even partially clogged cats, I'd think there would be a noticeable drop in power.
Maybe the bad COP's fouled my 02's.

positive LTFT means that your engine is running lean at that point. The ecm is trying to richen the mixture so it is increasing the amount of fuel to the engine. Remember that your front O2's are what adjust the LTFT. Not sure what, if anything a plugged cat would show on the front O2 reading.
