    Cats hitting new SFCs....help

    That's what I ended up doing, I just bent down and ground the edges of the "speed wings" (heat shields) on the cats, and the problem is gone. What really annoyed me is that on modular depot I was getting a whole bunch of flak about how I installed them wrong, and "so much for a professional...

    Rock salt + Paint...

    Evenflow - I also highly reccomend using Protect-All Quick and Easy Wash (QEW). If you do a search over at autopia.org you will find a number of threads detailing proper technique. I just used it today on my stang which was suffering from the same issue (salt caking) -T
