But if your cat was/is clogged it's probably time for new O2 sensors anyway... Stay away from Bosch.

Have you done the plenum work yet? If so you can bet it's clogged.

I cut mine out about 9 months after the plenum repair and it was night and day difference on power.

either weld in a short section of universal Y-pipe. 2 inch inlet, 2.5 inch outlets.
example only (not correct size).

or replace the entire front pipe section all the way to the muffler.

I thought you had but couldn't remember. But you can bet the truck that the cat is clogged.

So with it being clogged, other than robbing power, will it hurt any to drive it till summer when I replace everything???
