Ok guys, I need some opinions on my catalytic converter problem.....This last spring, I started smelling a rotten egg smell from my car which leads me to believe it's clogging. Lately it hasn't been starting that great ( won't fire off. Takes about 2-3 times). This only happens every now and then. It hasn't triggered my check engine light yet but I'm sure it's coming. Any recommendations a product that will unclog it? If not, thinking about doing the old lead pipe down the center to hollow it out. Or should I do a high flow catalytic converter?

Car is stock besides Ford Racing headers, cold air intake, Bassani Exhaust, and I believe it has a different cam or is at least tuned

I'd vote for a new catted H or X pipe to match the bassani exhaust.

I'd also look into why your current converters are stopped up. If the engine isn't running efficiently or the pollution systems aren't working-you may melt another set fairly quick
