I dunno. If the cat really costs 10BHP, I would consider chucking
it. What with the lack of an air pump and no oxygen sensor, it
can't be doing too much good in there. Ceramic coating sounds
nice, but after the new rotors, and with tires and a chain and
sprocket set coming up in the near future, I have more dollars
allocated than I have available as it is.
