Gutted the Cats Found another problem...

[Adam95GT]

i took a wack or 2 at my suspected clogged cat with a hammer.... and a ton of crap fell out.... so i decided to gut them both... but every time i stuck the rod inside the one cat is see a white puff of smoke out the one side.... i guess it has a small leak under the heat sheild... this accounts for the buzzing noise.... is there anyway i can fix this with muffler cement or something because i cant weld... it just has to hold me over till i get a offroad H.... but anyways.... my exhaust set up is almost finished 2 bolts to go... pass side header doesent have studs... so i bolt it up from thebottom... the problem is the 2 holes are different sizes and all messed up.... i really should just throw a nut up top.... its getting to be a pain in the ass.... expect exhaust videos and pics by monday

Dab on some of the Copper RTV stuff over the pin holes, I recall it says its good to 2000*F or something crazy. It might not last reall long, but I'm sure you'll dislike the sound of hollowed-out cats enough to get an o/r H-pipe in no time.

I would sand the area down and use jbweld.

even if the RTV is good to 2000 degrees, i highly doubt it would stick to the metal enough to not be blown out by exhaust pressure.

and Adam maybe it's time to learn how to weld? get a good mig welder, and learn how to use it. it will be your best friend! it's not that hard to weld, just takes some patience. and if you do get a welder, don't cheap out. spend 800 on a nice miller welder...

I feel retarded for asking but I have to lol. I assume that 470hp metro is a joke?

Sorry, But I have to second this question.

Will has been hanging out with the SVT guy [whom listed like 1000 HP and 6 second 1320 times].

I never understood why the 3 to 4 cylinder engine swap never caught on more.

You can get a pretty decent mig setup for 450~$ or so. But seriously if all he has is some pinhole leaks in a stock mid pipe why spend that kind of cash when he could get a mid pipe for 75~$ instead and be done with it.
