That's some funny shit [Big Grin]

Yeah, if you hear rattling in the cat or it gets really hot you probably blew it. I would change it out as soon as you can.

I had one break and it would plug up the exhaust everytime I punched it. The RPM's would raise, but it made no power. I'm lucky I didn't pop a gasket. It also rattled at idle and crusing RPM's.

It still runs. If someone did what your talking about the car would not run.

I think he was saying that to describe the sound, not implying that he thought someone did that.
