thats good to hear.



if you have the stock cat in the DP, if it hadnt already fallen apart and clogged the old cat that was behind it, it is probably fucked and ready to mess up your new cat.



glowing cat usually means clogged cat, or alot of combustion ocurring in the exhaust. If I were you I'd take off that DP and make sure the small cat is hollowed out, and make sure the new cat you have on there hasnt been **** on by the stock cat in the DP. What usually happens is the first precats contents fall apart and clog the following cat(s).

Do you have your airpump hooked up to the cat right?

MazdaEnthused

uh no actualy i dont i need to go back and have the guy put that one for me do i need it really bad

Leetheslacker

If the airpump isnt hooked up to the cat then goodbye cat. That could've clogged it up.

I don't think it's likely his new cat is clogged due to not having air pump present, especially for the short period of time the car has been running with it.





mazdaenthused what happened to the air pump?

Leetheslacker

So the coolant flush fixed the overheating prob right?



Oops, i forgot it was a new cat and he hasnt been running it much.

MazdaEnthused

um the air pump is still there its just that line that goes into the cat. isn't hooked up to the cat.
