Replying to: fordhorror (Nov 23, 2006 11:54 am) Sure as long as you aren't getting rid of the catalytic converter,which is illegal to do. It might sound louder though, depending on which muffler you pick. One of your mufflers is a resonator, a kind of silencer.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 24, 2006 5:31 pm) well i bought the kit from autohasz, when I ordered it it said STARLA kit which is expensive than the WALKER mufflers but when I got my package I see STARLA stickers stuck over the WALKER manufaturer sticker. Is this ok for the seller to do this? I feel compromised for some cheap shot money. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 01, 2006 5:36 pm)

Replying to: fordhorror (Dec 01, 2006 1:06 pm) Hmmm...that is odd unless Walker makes these things for STARLA and it's better quality...don't know what to say...

Replying to: spinner2 (Feb 02, 2006 3:32 pm) so it's almost a year for a reply, oh well. not sure of the year, but the hp of the duratec dropped from 200 to 185 when they went to the single exhaust. my '04 focus has abs and rear drum brakes. haven't really had to use it though.

The performance is good as well as the sound. Plz help......
#53 of 90 Honda CRV catalytic converter problem - smell by margaret3 Feb 20, 2007 (5:31 am)
At least once a day when driving my 2006 Honda CRV, I get the strong rotten eggs smell that I associate with a catalytic converter problem. It last a couple of minutes.   The problem is, it is intermittent. I am afraid if I take it to the dealer, they will say "unable to duplicate the problem." Any suggestions?

Replying to: margaret3 (Feb 20, 2007 5:31 am) Try a different brand of gas as an experiment. Also could be that on start up your engine is running a bit rich. Might need some adjustments.

Replying to: sfields (Sep 18, 2005 10:03 am) When I had the same problem with my VW exhaust I just made sure that it is still under warranty... Or else I have to pay for it... In your case, if it was tampered, you better look for a new one...
#57 of 90 Re: Why 3 catalytic converters on my avenger [avenger821] by 0patience Apr 04, 2007 (5:53 pm)
Replying to: avenger821 (Mar 24, 2006 3:20 pm) I was wondering y there are 3 cats on this car For emissions. and if i take the front 2 off will it be able to pass smog if the back cat is brand new. No, any alterations to the exhaust are illegal and any missing parts are an automatic fail. and does anyone know which one of the 3 fails the most. Usually the rear one.
