Decat car

Ahh okay so I should be looking at the DPF, I just assumed that I should have both done one time...

It wont hurt to suspect the cat. A good shop should do an exhaust back pressure test.
And your car will sound slightly better with both out.

Make sure the box is smaller than the cat..

If your DPF is blocked your car can engage the DPF regeneration mode, you will need to take it on a 1.5 hour drive at highway speeds for it to work.

Okay I thought I should give a update...I decided not to go through with this for 2 reasons, I took it to a friend on the other side of town who owns a performance exhaust shop, he is a bit of a crap talker but he was kind enough to check the car for me...The catalytic converter is not busted nor is the DPF clogged.. The car runs rich so he suspects a ecu fault and is having a auto electrician look at it this week. (cant hurt as if I changed the parts and it still happened I would need to spend again.)

Thanks for the helpful advice as well as the cats and boxes jokes.

Yes, a cat does not go bad easily.
Take a vacation and bring it to me, will do software update etc
