STS Scott Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Well, 390 bucks later (thats Canadian dough), my STS does not rattle like it has pop cans dragging behind it anymore. I had the Catalytic Converter replaced with a high-flow one, made by "Car Sounds", who are the parent company to Magna-Flow it turns out. Although the car performs the same, if not better (maybe it just think it is better!), the size of the new Cat., relative to the old one is smaller in width. Could this be a problem? The mechanic that did the job showed me that the code number (6006 I believe) matched with what was indicated on his computer for the car. So why the two different sizes?

bigfoo Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I think high flow ones have a little less material so they don't have to be as big , either that or it's manufactured differently as to provide higher flow in less space, but I do think it raises emmissions slightly..

CaddyShack24 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 maybe. you might have a loose part under there too.. like the muffler rattleing against the heatsheild. could always take it to a muffler shop for a free inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
