yeah... people are jaded for japanese cars and bmws. They have no clue bout rowdy audis. I got 2 new cats 2 months ago and my car is much better off. Before I got them my car sounded like a go-kart while passing parked cars. Also was a little sluggish. I got a question... I need to get my alignment fixed . should I get that pop noise which might be a bearing or bushing looked at and replaced then as well?

Now that the cat is clear and the car can breathe... I can feel exhaust out the back of the car, The turbo spools loud i can hear the stock DV...which i love...Nice sounding. Plus i got powerrr baby!

Lol so i gut the cat, work on my car get it all back in.. and im thinking in the back of my head ok so i found the issue so no exhaust was gettin out... wheres all the sut......im thinkin **** its prolly sittin in the exhaust pipes and muffler..

So i get her back together and take it out for a drive... Poor car behind me got it all.. and i mean all... Soon as i pinned it all that **** that was sittin in the pipe shot at there car... you see them right away switch lanes hahah.

hahaha I bet he was mean muggin you :mad:... or had the what the hell look. Hey, that pop happens right when I leave my parking spot on the street. I turn wheel to go around the car in front of me then center the wheel and I get a suddle popping noise. Thanks and I hope you blast some more cars with soot. O yeah and the pop only happens once, sounds like its coming from front driver side. After it pops it is fine through turns and on road.

Re: OMG my car RIPS
 
Sheesh! Your pics look like the cat melted from repeated overheating. Typically caused by failed emissions sensors and continued driving. The PO should have seen a flashing CEL under boost for awhile before cat melted bad enough to plug exhaust.

BTW, the cat material and related dust is toxic. Should wear gloves and mask when handling material.

After removing cat, do you have emissions DTC's with CEL now or ?

J Ozzie 09-06-2008 03:52 PM

Re: OMG my car RIPS
 
Uhhh, seriously? Toxic..... i didnt use gloves nor a mask and i inhaled a lil dust but then took it out side....

No cel... i dono i dont think its working...

Plus the post sensor is meltedd.. Go figure if this thing was that ****ed and then me drivin hours and hours with it... Till i couldnt take it any more...

Re: OMG my car RIPS
 
Yes to toxic cat material and dust. As a precaution, I would hose down the remnant garage dust esp if you have pets.

The CEL should come on when you turn on ign but do not start engine. Does it?

Which sensor is melted?

Have you scanned for DTC's?

J Ozzie 09-07-2008 03:43 PM

Re: OMG my car RIPS
 
yeah no cel light comes on when i turn it to the on position...
post sensor is melted
DTC?
