Hey, so a month or two ago i was driving my EA Wagon from hobart to Launny and started to notice a huge loss in power, black smoke blowing from exhaust and then the Cat converter literally blew out leaving a gaping hole in it
 scared the s**t outta me.
It had also been eating through heaps of water previously. So i got it towed and it starts now (sounds like a supercar  , havn't fitted new exhaust).
Just wondering what the hell could have caused this? Could i have blown a head? Havn't had the cash to take her in to the mech yet, any input would be great! cheers |

How old was the cat in the car? maybe it was that blocked it just stopped airflow through it? Did it destroy the whole exhaust system?

Sounds like a blockage in the exhaust system. Take a look at your oil - if it's milky, then you've got a blown head gasket!

The cat hasn't been changed at all as far as i know. Yeah thats what i thought maybe it just got blocked. I will check for milky oil haha, hope the gasket didn't blow.
Oh well its a good excuse to put a 2 1/2 " straight through on it anyway

Mine was leaking so I got another one from the wreckers.
New ones cost a bomb.

Someone must have shoved some apples a fair way up his exhaust system

was probably completely blocked and the pressure buildup blasted a hole out where there was a rust spot?
