does anybody know or has had a problem with the temp getting close to over heating its 30degress celuis here and after about 20 minutes of driving its getting that hot especailly if i am stopped at a light it heats up faster is there anyway to make my engine run cooler and one more thing has anybody took the cat out do you really get anymore power from doing that

 

I took the cat out of mine. I din't notice any more power but it sounds good. I dont have headers and i dont know what kind of muffler i have. It is a small welded one. It looks like the stock kind but smaller.

 

ya i got headers and dual mufflers it does not do anything for ya ha just looking to add a little more hp for cheap thats all

 

did you notice anything from the headers? What kind are they? Did you do anything on the intake side?

 

ya they are pacemaker headers i just bought the car about 2 mounths ago its got good power but i what more i hear some people get more with out the cat and some dont what about the check engine light comeing on did that happen to you

 

ses or check engine light coming on could mean u have some stored trouble codes. have the computer scanned and find out if there are some trouble codes in it and if so let us know what they are. running hot could be a number of things so its best to see what the computer has stored. a few things to look at are obstuctions in the radiator, leaves, stuff like that. are the fans comming on? is the radiator full of coolant? more power? get your computer tuned for your add ons. a plugged cat will cause loss of power and poor mpg.

my check engine light is not comeing on i was just woundering if the check engine light would come on if i cut the cat out and just ran straight pipe to my muffler and is there any easy cheap mods for horespower out there i got a 160 hyperteck thermostat i am going to put in today to see if that will make a diffrence

 

if u dont have one get a cold air intake set up. k&N or moroso. if u delete the cat u will not pass the smog test. u can get a high flow cat. once u get the add ons/take offs that u want have the computer tuned from a place like pcmforless. when u have it tuned he will do it for the new thermo so the fans and stuff comes on earlier. all the add ons help but without the tune your gains will be minimal.

 

ya thanks for the tips i got a cold air intake kn were i live they never check for the smog test but i have not had it on a computer yet it will help ha,plus if i cut the cats out its also lowerd too with 373 for gears i am in bc vancouver island
