I noticed my car runs hotter with the 3\" exhaust minus cats...
Is this common? My car seems to run hotter. Side sills are def cooler, but water temp went up.

Ab,
I have the same setup and my car definatly does not run hotter. You sure that its not just you getting on it more than before? The side sills are not just colder, they are just plain cold. Even after a 2 hour drive they are no hotter than the air outside. |

My car lost about for 4 dergrees due to losing the cats. It gets up to 215 at the most in traffic.We used a snap-on scanner to check it. Best to check for air in the coolant system or, a water pump.
