Sounds like they're looking for blame for their small peters.

I have cats on all my vehicles. Nothing to make up for here.


So, I guess unleaded fuel is more dangerous, so they started using catalytic converters.

I do! Magnaflow spun metallics. I think it's these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-53956

They cut the stink with almost no restriction.

I used that same set on the 150. Almost the same, I used them with O2 bungs.

I might get something like those for the smell alone.

I got a call tonight. I've been working with a guy at work pretty closely that tested positive. I'm really giving the vaccine a test! This is one of those "well, if i don't get it this time" moments. We worked on the same computer, in the same small office for an hour.... used the same phone.

No fuel smell, but they suck on the truck.

They flow to well for they factory tune. Therefore usable hp/ part throttle response was hindered... weakened low end considerable. This was due to tune/AF's and only that.

The truck needed the 1XXXX series magnaflows reinstalled but never got around to it.
