ptango Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 oh my lord, i have messed up. i had a hole in a bulge in my exhaust. i know a bit shady. but its the last bulge before the big muffler at the back. and while i was having it welded shut cos it was causing me performance issues, i noticed a rattling noise inside so i decided if there is a pipe that has cracked inside we should get it out and get rid of the noise. So we butchered it and i was feeling quite pleased untill the drive home. I had no power and even the primary is spooling so late and the car doesnt rev as fast as it used to in all the gears. oh and my idling is so weak if i start the a/c the car starts bouncing but wont stall. Can all this be because of the cat/resonator thingy? Help me please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 first, a "bulge in your exhaust" does not accuratly describe what the hell you are talking about. second, this does not sound like the kind of modifications to cause those issues. The muffler shop may have killed your O2 sensor..... or your cat collapsed from all the abuse you just gave it. Figure out the correct names of the parts you are describing and what was done to them, then try again My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 oh and my idling is so weak if i start the a/c the car starts bouncing but wont stall. Well I'm glad your hydraulics are still working. You have Daytons? Take it to a Subaru dealer. They can fix the hole in your huge bulge and that cat resonator thingy.

snow05gtRI Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 there are 2 cats (bulges) in the down pipe, then one bigger bulge in the straight pipe in the exhaust, this is the resonator...is the one you broke in the straight pipe that connects to the Y-pipe of your exhaust or is it in the pipe before that one?

StoplightAssassin Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 the last one before the backbox. Backbox? WTF is a backbox? Please just take it to a competent mechanic before you break a muffler bearing or your adjustable powerband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptango Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 http://www.rpmoutlet.com/images/mag93928.jpg ok i've taken enough abuse, this is exactly what it looks like. is it called a CAt or a resonator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 i think thats your resonator. you can remove it if you want and put a straight pipe in its place but it will make the car louder. dunno how you would replace it... when you butchered it you might have disrupted the flow.

ptango Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 thats what im thinking cos now in theory the gases flow 2.5 inch all the way through then get to a gutted out resonator so the diameter in piping increases greatly then its forced back to 2.5 inch untill the rear muffler a.k.a backbox. does it make sense? therefore choking the engine a bit. I appreciate your mature reply. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
