Man I'm so relieved. And yeah I had no power took me about 45 seconds to get to 30 mph. Should be picking the car up today. Might get full exhuast done.... Soon but will probably just go with a test pipe for the time being. Saw those for around 145 to 300.

Now the question can I run my car without a cat or test pipe for a little? Or do I need a replacement asap? And also will I need to update my tune?

A tune would be recommended and as for the cat, if you won’t have trouble with emissions (if required to go) then don’t sweat it. I’m glad to hear your ride is functional again.

Ya I'm so relieved it was something stupid but an easy fix. Still in the tuning process so wont be an issue. But Man Im so happy.

Glad you were able to figure it out! I definitely recommend the option of going catless if you can. I love problems like this. They have a serious effect on performance, make you think something is seriously wrong, only to find out it's something super simple.

+1 on catless if you can. Which if I can in communist Ontario, you should be able to sneak it by too. And do a nice 2.5-3" exhaust from the downpipe back, with straight through muffler(s) when the budget allows.
