Right. New month, new problem. This time, the car smells of sulphur when i rev the car to get it going. Was thinking this was the CatCon but i could be wrong. Oh, even withthe ecu reset and new lambda sensor, the fuel consumption is still the frickin same! The power has been sucked out too! Please help guys!

You might have a collapsed cat converter as to the power loss, and if you can smell sulpher there must be a hole crack in the exhaust after the cat.

You think im best off getting a new exhaust and cat? Could do the car favours. What would be the best option/ value for money item for the st202?

There are plent of aftermarket jap spec exhausts that will be similar price and better quality than the OEM system, probably stainless steel.

You only need one high flow cat generally to get through emissions and the power output of your car will be increased as a result as well as sounding very nice too.

Maybe £300 - £400, maybe a bit cheaper, maybe a bit more. You need to shop around on fleabay and the internet to get the best deal.

Thanx man, will have a look into the blitz systems as im quite fond of them. But the cats are about £130 at the cheapest.

Could also be the fuel your using, or your station has got some bad fuel in their tanks.
