I can see how a clogged cat converter ( exhaust backpressure ) could cause over heating?
but I cannot agree that a new converter would be better than a straight pipe in reducing
the back pressure and fixing an overheating problem.? ?Tell us again .... did you actually?
put a straight pipe in before a new cat converter installation ?? ? However I might agree if
the engine computer can somehow sense exhaust pressures or temperatures? and make a correction to?gas mixture ratios that would cause extra? heat.?
