Ok, the cat is rich, probably. Yes the line is fine and hard to stay on with
regards to proper mixture. So what's a guy to do? Well, the redneck way works
my friend. Take said destroyed cat off (it is shot btw), punch out the inside,
reinstall. You now look perfectly stock, sound fine, no longer glow red, and
will still be well able to pass emission tests.
