Evan Purple240zt Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Did you see his mods? Injector driver, coils and wires? WTF who cares. Car still looks bone stock. Why would you continue to let the car run like that? Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffer949 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ya what would cause the cats to blow apart like that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Looks like they probably beat or hammered on the cats to break up the matrix inside so it would blow out on purpose. I've seen cats blow out from running too rich, but the chunks that come out when that happens are normally either glowing white hot or burnt black.

I've seen cats blow out from running too rich, but the chunks that come out when that happens are normally either glowing white hot or burnt black. Nah the concussion from the back fires were hitting the cats so hard that they broke up the pieces. If you drop a cat on the ground its a good chance it will break apart so they aren't really hard to break. Either way yay lets ruin $500 cats.

primadonna z Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I saw the video with the sound off. But from the licence plate I figured it was choking on a vette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I disagree with Thumper...many Cats (unless really really old) are packed hard for the entire length of the piece, usually 10+ inches. If you have ever tried to remove the honeycomb that constitutes a cat it takes a piece of steel pipe a 5lb sledge and a good deal of effort to knock it out. As this is a brand new car, those honeycombs will be in there very tight. I am unusre how the cats just blew apart like that, my guess is the same as Z-Tard's. They are going to throw a check engine light on that car now too (OBD2)...but oh well...I like the Lambo at the end! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 280ZForce Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 That wasn't the 1st time he fired it up. I think they did prior to that and had some popping reactions. I say this because immediately after he turns on the car...plop, out comes a lil chunk of cat. Also, the owner says in the vid after he gets outta the car, wow that was a lot more than the 1st time, or something like that. Is it just me or did the guy holding the camera doing the commentary sound a bit like Howard Stern? You can really tell by the tone at the end of the clip.

buZy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Drivin a lambo in winter. Oh yea his buddy is loaded, a complete dork, and sounds even worse. The CTS-V farmwagon is going to need those mods. My Z with minimal effort killed 4 of those last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I agree with slowandrusty. My wifes saab cat was a metal mesh. Problaly once opened it would need a pheumatic jack hammer to get it out and then neatly seemed back up. I did say problaly. Ive seen the old cat stuff and that looked like it but can not understand why the car is backfiring, maby running rich and than ingnited on purpose with spark plugs! This is a set up for sure.

The converters are very strong when you are trying to push on them but when dropped or hit with a hammer they can and will break apart easily. Then again most of my experience was with aftermarket cats. The only OEM's I messed with were already broken apart. So maybe OEM's are better made than aftermarkets nah...J/K:icon54: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
