I was wanting to put a Hi-Flow Catalytic Converter on my car, and then run a straight pipe from the cat back. Would this be okay? I know it needs to have at least the cat on there, but what about the resonator and the muffler. I'm going for a loud exhaust, and I live in Oklahoma and we don't have the vehicle inspections to pass or anything.

While driving my car the battery light came on. Then the radio powered off, the lights began to dim and the car died out. If I leave the car off for a while it will start up again but dies out after a few minutes. Not sure if this is a battery, alternator or something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a silver VW Jetta... I've had it for a year and still don't have a name for it. This is a shame. Maybe something German, but definitely has to be a girl. Something fun is a plus!

PS- no comments on how it is lame to name your car!

My car keeps dying and no one can figure out why. It only dies when it is really cold outside and after running for a while. What happens is that when slowing down the heater slowly cuts out and then when stinkin car dies. The car restarts without a problem. No engine light comes on so nothing comes up on diagnostics.This has been an ongoing issue but only when it gets cold. Of course it doesn't die for the mechanic probably why he can't figure it out. Any suggestions or anyone with a similar problem?

I just bought a 91 caprice (v8 - 305 motor ) for $1000, the car had been sitting over a year. When we did the test drive it did great, then on the way home the alternator went out...we replaced that with a new one and the car seemed to be doing great...The next day we drove the car all over town and it did fine, and then all of a sudden we stopped at a stoplight, after stepping on the gas the car is real choppy and ends up dying. we barely made it home and someone told me to put some fuel treatment in it, I tried that and it didnt work...someone else said it could be the catalytic converter but after taking it off the car still did the same thing. Now when I start the car it dies and runs real rough. PLEASE HELP!!

I took my 98 Dodge Status SE with 119,000 miles on it to several auto clinics, and all diagnost my car with head gasket problems.I also had the computer diagnosis done. The cheapist deal I got was $820 for head gasket repair and changing of the timing belt.( the highest estimate was $1700). The car was running alright, but was shaking bad and leaking oil so much, that my oil light stayed on, and my car started to go just 20-30 mph and nothing over unless I pressed on the accelerater for a while, so I stop driving it.At first the car would start but would barely make over 1 on the rpm gauge.its been about 4 days and the car doesnt start, but its trying to. Should I invest my money in this car?What questons should I ask the mechanic to make sure everything is done properly? Any good advice?
