Eh?
My problem is a pretty good horsepower loss. My cats are screwed up, that I know. What I am looking for is some info on how bad the damaged cats will affect performance so I will know if I need to look further for other problems.
Thanks,
Mark

I can attest to this statement, clogged cats = stomp gas = truck falls on its FACE!!!

I've got the same problem with my truck. I hear that metalic rumble sound from the cats. The heat shields are on there tight, so I assume its the baffles inside.
Whats the most sensible replacement part other than the factory cats. Keeping price in mind...
