Re: [Advice] Cat converter

["Andre Persaud, MD" <acnpersaud@hotmail.com>]

Here's how it goes, I went to a body shop, not the usual one i go to 'cause
my sticker was expiring that day.
The guy put the car up on the rack and under the inspection part, failed the
car, cause the cat was burnt and the driver side outer cv was busted and
greasy. So i would have failed anyway. Then he said he'd pass me for $150.
Needless to say I left. I had my uncle take it to his shop and it did pass
the emission with the burnt out cat and all. So now I just have to fix the
cv.

 stick with the stock exhaust manifold, especially on a daily driver.

Thanks for the advice. I think as soon as I get some expendable cash, I'll
do the TT downpie/cat fix.
