It has come to my attention that the rear cat is unmonitored and therefore unable to be the problem.
This means that the cat in the header is the only one in play.
And the header is, quite conveniently, also the major restriction in the stock system.
I should also point out that it's way past time to change the smegging spark plugs in this thing again, and the resultant shitty burn could very well be causing this whole situation. But I like lying to myself in order to justify shiny things.
Current thought process:
- Buy new daily driver.
- Brakes, coilovers ASAP.
- Full exhaust before the next emissions inspection.
- Scrounge a parts ECU and buy an off the shelf E85 tune (assuming I get on the cheap fuel train with said daily driver, I may as well). Factory ECU retained for paranoia's sake.
