Well the faily new Magna-crap is now got some issues going on side since all that crap fuel and new fuel built up in there and went Poof* you can hear a rattle in there now..

ROFL.. I'll be putting stock back on for now. I think i want to completely redo this exhaust anyways.

SO.. been driving around a bit.. the Catalytic Converter is surly shot... you can hear something rattling in there..

Also its not doing its job.. even after being warmed up the truck still smells like an old Chevy Pickup..

So with that being said.. I know this truck is running rich.. what do you think could be cause of it?

MAP?
IAC? <-- Even though its working..

Anything I can do to help it not run so rich?

Also just want to add.. Magnaflow Cat's are a POS, false advertising and I think I'm going to sue them because of it.. now that the CAT is messed up inside.. its back to the same amount of exhaust (I'm guessing by just feeling it come out the tail pipe) and performance has been restored.

Jeez when it rains it pours for ya! Glad to hear the truck is on the mend,Once you figure all the issues I would tend to dump a couple bottles of fuel system cleaner into it to remove the old sludge from the bad fuel and this way no damage to the hooped cat.
I would also venture that the O2 sensors could be hooped too.Might be an idea to run a code scan ,with a good code scanner to show the parameters of the sensors.
