Cats that rattle

Rover Chick, It's a bad idea to run on cats that rattle wishing the honeycomb
will blow out the exhaust. The honeycomb will turn into twisted glass the size of your fist and plug the exit of the converter. Variable engine back pressure, ******* the engine, overheat and the exhaust valves. Rover changed exhaust valves 4 times to patch or hide valve problems, "the Limey way".

Carl - while its indeed bad idea running cats rattling - sometime there is no other way Anyway - i ordered 94005 ones and they should be here today (yey!) and, if all turns out good, on truck by tomorrow. I probably would pony up some money for new muffler though, b/c i strongly dislike generic one i got from other shop, not to mention that bloody thing leaks (unless black marks around welding seams on muffler itself meaning something else )

Thanks for idea on Car Sound ones - those seems to be preferred in muffler shops round here too.

PS: i think even Melissa fist is wee bit bigger than 2 1/4 "
