Honey comb in my muffler! - 6/16/2007 8:47:35 PM    zoso Posts: 246 Joined: 2/6/2007 Status: offline Ok heres a little behind the story. I have a 00ex with a v2intake, dc headers, and a GReddy SP2exhaust. A little while ago i was driving on the freeway and my check engine light comes on. The guy at hona said it was my cat. I put my exhaust on today and it was hella loud. I thought SP2 were quiet. When i took my old exhaust off i shoot my muffler, and there was a bunch of silver honey comb stuff in it. My question is is the honey comb from my cat? Or what is it from. I think it might be so then at would mean my cat is pretty much hollowed out. If i get a new cat will the exhaust be quiet and nice?

Cause i thought GReddy Sp2 was a quiet exhaust, but it is way loud. So that is why i thought that my cat blew out and thats what was making it so loud. Thanks for the imput. I am just tired of my exhaust problems! (in reply to FlipHKD720) Post #: 4

But from there back, there is nothing. Is there supposed to be screens threw the whole cat, like end to end? When i looked in the side that had no screens, the closest screen i could see had what looked like melted something. It looked like a sliver melted metal or something like that. < Message edited by zoso -- 6/18/2007 9:45:46 AM > (in reply to johnny) Post #: 8

After that it is hallow. When i took my muffler off there was this honey comb stuff that looked like burnt wood pieces. When i stepped on it, they would turn to dust. (in reply to mxs) Post #: 10
