Thread: exhaust blockage

  1. #1

    exhaust blockage

    I have recently put a 2 chamber thrush welded (2.5 in) on my 2000 silvy. It sounds good at low rpm's 1200 to 3000. After that it sounds like the exhaust is being restricted, it sounds like alot of air going through a small hole. Is the 2.5 in to small or is it a plugged cat? Any ideas? Thanks
